Setting the Boot Options
When you select Boot Options from the Main Menu, you see
the boot Options screen, which contains the options described
below.
Selecting the drive boot sequence
The
Disk
drive boot sequence option determines the
order in which the computer checks the drives when it looks
for the operating system.
If you select A: then C:, each time you turn on the
computer, it first tries to load the operating system from drive
A. If drive A doesn’t contain an operating system, the
computer loads it from drive C. If you select C : then A : , the
computer tries to load the operating system from drive C first.
If drive C doesn’t contain an operating system, the computer
tries to load it from drive A. If you select C : only, the
computer tries to load the operating system from drive C only.
Setting the floppy seek option
If you set the
Disk
drive boot sequence option to
C: only, you can disable the Floppy seek option so the
system does not try to access the diskette drive at startup.
Disabling the Floppy seek option decreases the time needed
to boot the system.
Disabling the-SETUP prompt
The
Display SETUP
prompt during
POST
option allows
you to disable the message Preen <F2> to enter
SETUP
that you see during power-on diagnostics. You may want to
disable this prompt to prevent unauthorized users from seeing
the SETUP prompt. Even when the message is disabled,
however, you can still start SETUP by pressing F2 within the
allowed amount of time.
