CAUTION
A bootable CD-ROM may have either a floppy disk for-
mat 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 for-
mat) if the internal hard drive is not present or is dis-
abled. 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 inter-
nal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive
designations; however, your application software will
use the new designations.
CAUTION
Be careful of the operating environment when booting
from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.
