When the bootable CDROM is used, the drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive. [. . . ]
