CAUTION
■
A bootable CD-ROM may have either a floppy disk or hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is used, the
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format CD-ROM is used, the
CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not
present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is
present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive
designations, however, your application software will use the new designations.
■ Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.
