BIOS Utilities

Boot devices usually are hard drives, floppy drives, and CD-ROMs/DVD-

ROMs and Networks (LANs).

When you specify a device as a boot device on the Boot Menu, it requires the availability of an operating system on that device. Most home computers come with an operating system already installed on “Drive C:”.

If you wish to boot from a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM you will need to add it to the

5

boot order. As a general rule the order below is recommended:

 

1.Removable Devices (usually floppy disks)

2.CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive

3.Hard Drive

4.LAN

In everyday use you will usually boot from the hard drive, however there may be occasions when it is advantageous to boot from a floppy disk or CD-ROM/ DVD-ROM.
