Boot devices usually are hard drives, floppy drives, CD-ROMs, and
network cards.
When you specify a device as a boot device on the Boot Menu, it re-
quires the availability of an operating system on that device. Most
PCs come with an operating system already installed on hard-drive
“C:”.
If you wish to boot from a CD-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 Drive
3. Hard Drive
In everyday use you will usually boot from the Hard Drive, however
there may be occasions when it is advantageous to boot from a flop-
py disk or CD-ROM.
