14.7 Phoenix MultiBoot
Phoenix MultiBoot expands your boot options by letting you choose your boot device, which could be
a hard disk, floppy disk, or CD ROM. You can select your boot device in Setup, or you can choose a
different device each time you boot by selecting your boot device in The Boot First Menu.
MultiBoot consists of:
The Setup Boot Menu
The Removable Format Menu
The Fixed Disk and Removable Disk Menus
The Boot First Menu
The following describes each one of these menus.
14.7.1 The Setup Boot Menu
In the Setup Boot Menu, shown here, you can select the order of the devices from which the BIOS
attempts to boot the operating system. During POST, if the BIOS is unsuccessful at booting from one
device, it will try the next one on the list.
The items on this menu each may represent the first of a class of items—if you have more than one
device of this class installed on your system. For example, if you have more than one hard-disk drive,
[Hard Drive] represents the first of such drives as specified in the Fixed Media menu described below.
