Setting the Boot Drive Sequence
The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd and 3rd) for bootable drives in your computer.
For example, the default value (1st:Hard Disk, 2nd:Floppy Disk, and 3rd:CD-ROM, DVD-ROM) tells the
computer to first search for a hard disk. If it finds one present, it boots up from that hard disk. If not, the
computer continues to search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive. If it cannot boot up from the floppy
disk drive, it continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive or a bootable DVD-ROM in the
DVD-ROM drive.
To set the boot drive sequence, use the cursor
up/down
(↑↓) keys to select a priority level (1st, 2nd, or 3rd);
then use the cursor
left/right
(→←) keys to select the device for that priority level.
