BIOS Setup Utility Boot Menu

As you can see above, we've changed the boot order from Removable Devices shown in the previous step to the CD-ROM Drive as an example.

BIOS will now look for a bootable CD in the optical disc drive first, before trying to boot to any removable media like a floppy drive or flash drive and also before trying to boot to the hard drive or a network resource.

Make whatever boot order changes you need and then proceed to the next step to save your settings.
