Boot Menu 5 - 13

5

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
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.

Network (LAN) Boot

To boot from a network, see

“Configuring the Network Boot Protocol” on
