Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.
■
A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is used, the
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM
becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or
is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since
the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations,
however, your application software will use the new designations.

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system
during a startup sequence. To view all devices related to a source, press [Enter]; to view all
devices related to all sources, press [Ctrl] + [Enter]. To change the order, highlight one source
by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order
number. [Shift] + [1] enables a device.Tapping [d] removes from the list a device that is not
installed.Be sure to save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility.
NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may
be overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.
