A bootable CD-ROM may have a floppy disk format
or a hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM
is used, the drive allocations change automatically
without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk for-
mat CD-ROM 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 not present or is
disabled. The 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.

Be careful of the operating environment when boot-
ing from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by
mistake.
