Boot Menu 5 - 17

Boot devices usually are hard drives, floppy drives and CD-ROM’s.

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

home computers 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.
