Boot Menu 5 - 13

Boot devices usually are hard drives, floppy drives, and CD-ROMs/DVD-

ROMs and Networks (LANs).

When you specify a device as a boot device on the Boot Menu, it requires the

availability of an operating system on that device. Most home computers

come with an operating system already installed on “Drive C:”.

If you wish to boot from a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM you will need to add it to the

boot order. As a general rule the order below is recommended:

1. Removable Devices (usually floppy disks)

2. CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive

3. Hard Drive

4. LAN

In everyday use you will usually boot from the hard drive, however th ere may

be occasions when it is advantageous to boot from a floppy disk or CD-ROM/

DVD-ROM.
