Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system. ■ Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake. ■ A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used, 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 internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. A 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, but your application software will use the new designations.
