Chapter 5. Using the Setup Utility

Selecting a startup device

If your computer does not start up (boot) from a device such as the

CD-ROM, diskette, or hard disk as expected, use one of the following

procedures to select a startup device.

Selecting a temporary startup device

Use this procedure to startup from any boot device.

Note: Not all CDs, hard disks, and diskettes are bootable.

1. Turn oﬀ your computer.

2. Turn on the computer when you see the “Press F1 to enter Setup, F12

to display Boot Menu” showed on display and then press F12. When the

Startup Device Menu appears, release the F12 key.

Note: If you are using a USB keyboard and the Startup Device Menu

does not display using this method, repeatedly press and release

the F12 key rather than leaving it pressed when turning on the

computer.

press Enter to begin.

Note: Selecting a startup device from the Startup Device menu does

not permanently change the startup sequence.
