Selectable Drive-Startup Sequence

Selectable drive-startup (selectable boot) allows you to control

the

startup sequence of the drives

in

your

computer. The

order

in

which

the computer looks for the

drives for your operating system

is

the

drive-startup sequence. If you are working with multiple operating

 

 

systems, you might want to

change the drive-startup sequence

to

 

load

the operating

system

from

the

hard

disk without

first

checking

the

diskette drive,

or to

do

a remote

program load

(RPL).

 

 

Attention

When changing your startup sequence, you must be extremely careful when doing write operations (such as copying, saving, or formatting). Your data or programs can be overwritten if you select the wrong drive.

For more information about the selectable drive-startup sequence, refer toThinkPadthe User's Guide.
