Boot Sequence

  Click on the image to zoom

This determines the order in which the computer has to look in to the devices like CD, floppy or hard disks for a boot sector

The normal order of the search is

  1. Floppy Drive

  2. IDE primary master

  3. IDE primary slave

  4. IDE secondary master

  5. IDE secondary slave

  6. Off-chipset controllers, like SCSI cards, PCI IDE cards or their on-board counterparts. This order may be altered using this option.

Once the boot sector is located, the BIOS will continue with the loading of the operating system files.
