- You are now in the BIOS, click on the right arrow button to reach on your keyboard to the tab "Boot". You can open it with "Enter".
- Here you can select the item "Boot Device Priority" by pressing "Enter".
- Here you can see "1st", "2nd" and "3rd" Boot Device. With the up and down arrow keys you can jump between the individual points back and forth and Enter between the hard disk (Hard Drive), the CD-run factory (CD-ROM) and a floppy disk drive select (Floppy Drive). The latter exists only in older computers.
- You want to start, for Example, your PC with a CD or DVD, so you need to set the drive as the "1st Boot Device". There should be no CD in the drive, boot up the PC automatically from the "2nd Boot Device". Depending on the specified order, for example, your system hard disk.
