Description

C A U T I O N

A bootable CD-ROM may have either a floppy disk or
hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is
used, the drive allocations change automatically with-
out changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format
CD-ROM 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: des-
ignator is always reserved for the internal hard
drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designa-
tions, however, your application software will use the
new designations.

C A U T I O N

Be careful of the operating environment when booting
from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.
