Using Easy-Setup

Using the Selectable Drive-Startup Sequence

Warning:

If you change your startup

sequence, you must be extremely

careful when you do write

operations (such as copying,

saving, or formatting). Your data

or programs can be overwritten if

you select the wrong drive.

Selectable drive startup (

selectable boot

) allows you to control the

startup sequence of the drives in your computer. The order in

which the computer searches the drives for your operating system is

the

drive-startup sequence

. If you are working with multiple

operating systems, you might want to change the drive-startup

sequence to load the operating system from the hard disk or the PC

Card without checking the diskette drive, or to do a remote program

load (RPL).

Changing the Startup Sequence

To change the startup sequence, do the following:

To start Easy-Setup:

Page 42.

Start Easy-Setup and select the Start up icon.

Move the cursor to the Reset icon; then press the

Spacebar.

The sequence is reset, and all available device icons appear

at the bottom of the screen. For the meaning of icons, see

page 45.

Note:

You cannot set a hard disk drive

before the PC Card in the startup

sequence.

Move the cursor to the icon of the first device for the

startup sequence; then press the Spacebar.

Repeat this step to set the other devices for the startup

sequence. You can set up to four devices.

Click on OK or press Enter to save the change.
