4 Note For instructions on setting boot sequence priority in the system BIOS, see this.
To boot from a CD, DVD or USB device, make sure that the device has the
boot sequence priority over the hard drive.
BIOS (Basic Input Output Subsystem) is a programmable chip that controls
how information is passed to various devices in the computer system. A
typical method to access the BIOS settings screen is to press ESC, F1, F2, F8
or F10 during the boot sequence.
BIOS settings allow you to run a boot sequence from a floppy drive, a hard
drive, a CD-ROM drive or an external device. You may configure the order
that your computer searches these physical devices for the boot sequence.
The first device in the order list has the first boot priority. For example, to
boot from a CD-ROM drive instead of a hard drive, place the CD-ROM drive
ahead of the hard drive in priority.
While you are in the BIOS Setup Utility, you will not be able to use your
mouse. Use the keyboard arrow keys to move around the screen.
Before you set boot priority for a USB device, plug the device into a USB
port.
To specify the boot sequence:
1. Start the computer and press ESC, F1, F2, F8 or F10 during the initial
startup screen. Depending on the BIOS manufacturer, a menu may
appear.
2. Choose to enter BIOS setup. The BIOS setup utility page appears.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the BOOT tab. System devices appear in
order of priority.
4. To give a CD or DVD drive boot sequence priority over the hard drive,
move it to the first position in the list.
5. To give a USB device boot sequence priority over the hard drive, do the
following:
• Move the hard drive device to the top of the boot sequence list.
• Expand the hard drive device to display all hard drives.
• Move the USB device to the top of the list of hard drives.
6. Save and exit the BIOS setup utility.
The computer will restart with the changed settings.
Some computer manufacturers allow you to select the device that contains
the boot sequence from a special device selection menu. The example below
uses a Dell system board.
To set boot priority using a device selection menu:
1. When the computer starts to boot up, after the manufacturer's ID
screen, press F12 several times. The device selection menu appears.
2. Use the up and down arrows to select CD-ROM.
3. To boot from the selected device, press ENTER.
5.Booting from a CD, DVD or USB Device
To boot from the Active@ Boot Disk device:
1. To boot from a CD or DVD, put the bootable Active@ Boot Disk CD or
DVD disk into the player.
2. To boot from a USB device, plug the bootable Active@ Boot Disk USB
device into a USB port.
3. Start the power on the machine. In a DOS screen, the following message
appears:
Press any key to start Active@ Boot Disk...
4. Press a key on the keyboard. The screen changes and appears to be
loading the kernel.
5. The screen goes dark for a length of time. Wait for the console to load.
