Be aware 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 inter-
nal 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.

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during a 
startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and 
then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is 
not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to 
save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility.

NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be 
overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.
