LifeBook P Series BIOS 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 careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake. ■ A bootable CD-ROM has 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 floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is disabled or not present. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C designator is reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, however, your application software will use the new designations.

If you wish to exit from the setup utility press the [Esc] key to go to the Exit Menu. If you wish to move to another menu, use the cursor keys. 26
