Setting the Booting Sequence

The booting sequence determines the order in which the

computer checks the drives when it looks for the operating

system.

For example, if you select A, c, each time you turn on the

computer it first checks drive A (the external diskette drive) for

an operating system diskette and loads the operating system

from that diskette. If drive A does not contain an operating

system diskette, the computer loads the operating system from

drive C. This is the default setting because you may sometimes

want to boot the computer from a system diskette in drive A.

If you select

C

, A,

the computer loads the operating system

from drive C. If it doesn’t find the operating system on drive C,

it checks the diskette in drive A. This setting allows the

computer to load the operating system a little faster.

Setting the Virus Warning

Your computer contains a built-in virus warning function to

protect your data should a software virus come in contact with

your system.

If the virus warning option is enabled, the system displays a

virus warning message when it detects a program attempting

to write to the boot sector on either a diskette or the hard disk

drive. You must respond to a prompt either to allow a

legitimate program (such as the MS-DOS FORMAT command)

to write to the boot sector or to deny access to a program that

shouldn‘t be writing to the boot sector.
