2 About Your BIOS
The HP Setup Program
Boot Device Priority
You can select the order of the devices from which the
BIOS
attempts to boot the operating system. During the POST, if
the BIOS is unsuccessful at booting from one device, it will try the next one on the Boot Device Priority list until an
operating system is found. The default boot device is the floppy disk. To speed up booting, you may wish to set the hard
disk as the default boot device. If you ever need to boot from a floppy though, remember to reset the floppy as the
default boot device.
The Boot Device Priority can be changed through the Boot menu. Use the
or
arrows to move along the main
menu bar to its location. The item is then highlighted and displays the available boot options.
