This setting is automatically selected when [Auto] is selected and autotypes the drive to select the optimum transfer mode. A bootable CD-ROM or DVD-ROM may have a floppy disk or hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is used, the disc becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM or DVD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM or DVD-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 hard drive. The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, however, your application software will use the new designations. Be careful of the operating environment when booting from CD-ROM/DVD-ROM or you may mistakenly overwrite files. 7 LifeBook P7000 Notebook BIOS Drive1 Submenu of the Main Menu The Drive1 submenu identifies which ATA/IDE devices are installed.
