Boot Priority on Dell Latitude 100L
Have you ever noticed the messages
that pop up on the screen as soon as you turn on your PC? These messages
tell you a key combination you can press to enter "Setup" or the
"BIOS." Watch your screen and see if you can read what keys to press.
If you did not see a message
telling you what keys to press, try tapping the following possibilities
as you turn on the machine:
After
pressing Esc or other key, you will most likely
see instructions telling you how to enter "Setup Mode". Follow those
instructions.
On some computers, you
must hold down the key before you press the power button to
turn on the computer. For example, if you are converting a Toshiba
laptop to a Linux Workstation, you must hold down the Esc
key and then press the power button. The computer then asks you to
press F1, and you can then set the "Boot Priority."
The menu of choices you see will be different for
different kinds of computers. Remember that the choice you want is the
"Boot" order or "Boot Priority." On some computers, this is called the
"Start Up Options" or "Start Up Sequences." You are going to change
where the PC will look for boot information when it starts up. (CD-ROM, HARD DRIVE/HDD, LAN, FLOPPY, USB). If you wish to boot from your Hard drive, then select it as your First Priority.
