Drives
Hardware Guide 5–11
■ In Computer Setup, the list of bootable devices includes only
the bootable devices currently in the computer or an optional
docking base. It does not list USB drives or an external
diskette drive.
■ In Compaq Computer Security, the list of bootable devices
includes all bootable devices supported by the BIOS, except
USB drives and an external diskette drive. If you set a startup
sequence for a bootable device that is not currently in the
system, the device will be included in the startup sequence
when it is present and ignored when it not present.
Changing the Startup Sequence in
Computer Setup
In Computer Setup, you can set a startup sequence that the
computer uses each time it starts up, or you can use MultiBoot
Express to set the computer to prompt you for a startup location
each time it is started or restarted.
If you set up the MultiBoot Express prompt and do not press a
key or select a startup medium within a time interval you specify,
the computer continues startup according to the current
MultiBoot sequence.
Setting a Continuing Startup Sequence
To set the computer to start up using the startup sequence you
specify each time it is started or restarted:
1. Restart the computer, then press
F10 while the F10 = ROM
Based Setup message is displayed in the lower-left corner of
the screen.
❏ To change the language, press F2.
❏
For navigation instructions, press F1.
2. Select Advanced > Boot Options, then press enter.
3. Toggle the MultiBoot field to Enable.
