Boot Order Allows you to:
• Specify the order in which attached
devices (such as a USB flash media
device, diskette drive, hard drive, optical
drive, or network interface card) are
checked for a bootable operating system
image. Each device on the list may be
individually excluded from or included for
consideration as a bootable operating
system source.
• Specify the order of attached hard drives.
The first hard drive in the order will have
priority in the boot sequence and will be
recognized as drive C (if any devices are
attached).
