Operating System Setup
If you are installing new system software, or are re-configuring your computer for a different system, make sure
you configure the appropriate OS setting in the BIOS before installing a new operating system (Note: If you have
installed the Windows Vista/Windows 7 operating system with AHCI mode enabled, DO NOT disable AHCI
mode or you will need to reinstall the Windows Vista/Windows 7 OS).
1. Start-up the computer and press <F2> to enter the BIOS.
2. Go to the Advanced menu, select “Installed O/S” and make sure the appropriate operating system is
selected.
3. Go to the Exit menu and select “Exit Saving Changes” (or press F10 and select “Ye s” then press
Enter) and press Enter to exit the BIOS and reboot the computer.
