Among other things, the BIOS menu allows you to adjust the boot order.

Computer BIOS allows booting operating systems not only from hard disks, but also from CD-ROMs,

DVD-ROMs, and other devices. Changing the boot order may be required, for example, to make your

rescue media (CD, DVD or USB stick) device the first booting device.

If there are several hard disks installed in your computer labeled as C:, D:, E:, and F:, you can change

the boot order so that an operating system is booted from, for example, disk E:. In this case, you

have to set the boot order to look like E:, CD-ROM:, A:, C:, D:.

This does not mean that booting is done from the first device in this list; it only means that the first attempt to

boot an operating system will be from this device. There may be no operating system on disk E:, or it may be

inactive. In this case, BIOS queries the next device in the list.

The BIOS numbers disks according to the order in which they are connected to IDE controllers

(primary master, primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave); next go the SCSI hard disks.

This order is broken if you change the boot order in BIOS setup. If, for example, you specify that

booting has to be done from hard disk E:, numbering starts with the hard disk that would be the third

in usual circumstances (it is usually the secondary master for IDE hard drives).

Some motherboards have a so called boot menu opened by pressing a certain key or key combination, for

instance, F12. The boot menu allows selecting the boot device from a list of bootable devices without changing

the BIOS setup.

4.14 Recovery options

In the Disk Recovery Options, File Recovery Options and E-mail Recovery Options windows you can

configure options for a disk/partition, file and e-mail recovery processes respectively. After you

installed the application, all options are set to the initial values. You can change them for your

current recovery operation only or for all further recovery operations as well. Select the Save the

settings as default check box to apply the modified settings to all further recovery operations by

default.

Note, that disk recovery options, file recovery options and e-mail recovery options are fully

independent, and you should configure them separately.

If you want to reset all the modified options to their initial values that were set after the product

installation, click the Reset to initial settings button.
