Changing the Boot Sequence for the
Current Boot
You can use the Boot Device Menu to boot your computer from a
device other than the default boot device. Your computer boots from
the selected boot device only for the current boot, and boots from the
default device on the next reboot. To boot using the Boot Device Menu:
1. If booting from the optical drive, insert the bootable media into the
drive.
If booting from a USB device, connect the USB device to your
computer.
If booting from a network, connect the network cable to your
computer.
2. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
3. Press <F12> when F2 = Setup, F12 = Boot Menu appears on the
screen.
NOTE: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears,
continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop.
Then shut down your computer and try again.
4. The Boot Device Menu appears.
5. Select the device you want to boot from by pressing up-arrow/
down-arrow key or by pressing the number displayed next to the
boot device.
For example, if you are booting from a USB memory key, highlight
USB Flash Device and press <Enter>.
NOTE: The device you are trying to boot from must be bootable. To
ensure your media is bootable, check the device documentation.
