Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu

The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.

Figure 17. Boot Device Priority Submenu

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

A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used,
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If 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. A bootable CD-ROM cannot use a C: designation if a formatted inter-
nal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive. The boot
sequence ignores new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

In order for a portable USB memory device (e.g., JumpDrive or memory stick) to be recognized in the
Boot Device Priority list, it must have been installed before booting the system.

Note that some older portable USB memory devices may not be recognized as bootable devices.

The Boot Menu can also be invoked outside of the Setup Utility using the TrustedCore menu or the [F12]
key.

See Using the TrustedCore Menu for more information.
