Device control feature parameters, such as changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.
■
System Data Security feature parameters, such
as passwords.

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