■
Be aware 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.
