CAUTIONS
■
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.
■
A bootable CD-ROM has either 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 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 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,
however, your application software will use the new designations.
