BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS

■

Device control feature parameters, such as changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.

■

System Data Security feature parameters, such
as passwords.

The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.

■

Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.

■

A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a 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 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.
