5 - 14 Boot Menu

Boot devices usually are hard drives, floppy drives, and CD/DVD-ROMs and
networks (LAN).

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/DVD-ROM you will need to add it to the boot
order. As a general rule the order below is recommended:

1.

Removable Devices (usually floppy disks)

2.

CD-ROM/DVD-ROM type Device Drive

3.

Hard Disk Drive

4.

LAN (Network)

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 (e.g. an ex-
ternal USB floppy disk drive) or CD-ROM/DVD-ROM.
