Start Options

Startup Sequence
This setting controls which devices your computer will attempt to read data from
when it is started.
Your computer can be started from several devices, including the hard disk drive,
diskette drive, and CD-ROM drive. The startup program looks for these devices in a
selected sequence. The startup sequence on your computer is preset from the
factory to have the computer start up from a CD, diskette, or hard disk. This startup
sequence allows you to start the diagnostic and recovery programs from the
Product Recovery and Diagnostics CD, use emergency diskettes to recover from a
startup failure, and start from your hard disk for normal day-to-day operation. In
most cases, there is no reason to change the startup sequence.
Virus Warning
This setting determines if the BIOS will monitor the boot sector and partition table of
the hard disk drive for any attempt at modification. If any attempt is made, the BIOS
will halt the system and an error message will appear.
