Changing the Boot Device
The notebook normally boots from its internal hard disk. You can also boot the notebook from an
external USB floppy disk drive (optional accessory), the CD/DVD drive, or a local area network
(LAN).
1. Restart the notebook: click Start, Turn Off Computer, Restart.
2. When the HP logo appears, press Esc to display the Boot menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the boot device, and press Enter.
If you want to boot from a specific device whenever it is present, change the boot order using the
BIOS configuration utility—see “Using the BIOS Configuration Utility” on page 34.
