MultiBoot (Advanced Users Only) 6. Optical drive in a port replicator MultiBay or connected by USB that contains a disc that boots as drive C. 7. Optical drive in notebook MultiBay that contains a disc that boots as drive C. 8. Hard drive in notebook hard drive bay. 9. Hard drive in notebook MultiBay. 10. Hard drive in a port replicator MultiBay or connected by USB. 11. NIC. Planning Changes to the Startup Sequence Before changing the startup sequence, consider the following: ■ When the notebook restarts after your MultiBoot changes and searches for a startup drive, it considers only the first drive of each type. For example, in the default boot order, the notebook will not start from a bootable diskette in the notebook MultiBay if a non-bootable diskette is in a port replicator MultiBay. ■ Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in the notebook MultiBay, that hard drive becomes drive C and a hard drive in the hard drive bay becomes drive D. If you start up from a diskette drive in a port replicator, that diskette drive becomes drive A. Starting up from a NIC does not affect logical drive designations. ■ The list of bootable devices in Computer Setup includes only the bootable devices currently in the notebook or a port replicator and any USB drives connected to the notebook or a port replicator. 5-4 Software Guide
