 Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.
 A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk or hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is used, drive
allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM
becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not pres-
ent or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is
present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal drive. The boot sequence ignores the new
drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.
