Setting the Booting Sequence
The booting sequence determines the order in which the
computer checks the drives when it looks for the operating
system.
For example, if you select
A,
c, each time you turn on the
computer it first checks drive A (the external diskette drive) for
an operating system diskette and loads the operating system
from that diskette. If drive A does not contain an operating
system diskette, the computer loads the operating system from
drive C. This is the default setting because you may sometimes
want to boot the computer from a system diskette in drive A.
If you select C
, A,
the computer loads the operating system
from drive C. If it doesn’t find the operating system on drive C,
it checks the diskette in drive A. This setting allows the
computer to load the operating system a little faster.
Setting the Virus Warning
Your computer contains a built-in virus warning function to
protect your data should a software virus come in contact with
your system.
If the
virus warning
option is enabled, the system displays a
virus warning message when it detects a program attempting
to write to the boot sector on either a diskette or the hard disk
drive. You must respond to a prompt either to allow a
legitimate program (such as the MS-DOS FORMAT command)
to write to the boot sector or to deny access to a program that
shouldn‘t be writing to the boot sector.
