Boot Order
By default, the notebook starts up from the internal hard drive.
You can set the notebook to start up from any bootable CD or
DVD in the optical drive. A bootable CD or DVD contains files
needed by the notebook to start up and operate properly. You can
also boot from a diskette drive or flash device connected to a USB
port on your notebook.
Set startup preferences in the Setup utility. The Setup utility is not
a Windows utility and does not support the TouchPad. For
information about using the Setup utility, refer to
“Using the
Setup Utility,” in Chapter 9.
Optional HP USB Digital Drive
(Select
Models Only)
Optional HP USB Digital Drives are pocket-sized SD (Secure
Digital) memory drives for storing and transferring files such as
digital pictures, music, video, or data files. A digital drive can be
connected to the digital drive bay or to the USB port with the
USB digital drive cable either retracted or extended.
An SD Memory Card must be inserted into a digital drive before
you can use it with your notebook. Depending on your notebook
model, you may or may not have an SD Memory Card. You can
purchase an SD Memory Card from a computer or electronics
retailer.
