MultiBoot
A bootable medium or network interface card (NIC) contains files
that the tablet PC needs to properly start and operate. The
MultiBoot utility, disabled by default, enables you to identify the
devices and control the sequence in which the system attempts to
boot from those devices as it starts up your tablet PC.
Bootable devices include optical drive discs, such as CDs or
DVDs, bootable diskettes, or NICs.
✎
Some devices, including USB devices and NICs, must be
enabled in Computer Setup before they can be included in the
boot sequence. For more information, refer to
“Bootable
Devices in Computer Setup” in this chapter.
Default Boot Sequence
By default, when more than one bootable device is in the system,
the tablet PC chooses the startup device by searching enabled
devices and locations in a predetermined sequence.
On every boot, the system looks for bootable drive A devices
first. If it fails to find a bootable drive A device, it searches for
bootable drive C devices. Drive A devices include optical drives
and diskette drives. Drive C devices include optical drives and
primary hard drives.
