| 714549 | 2008-10-24 22:35:00 | Long ago (20 years ago)I had a box that would automatically boot from a cd if a bootable one was in the drive or would go on to boot from the MBR if there was no CD.Is this still available.? | kjaada (253) | ||

| 714551 | 2008-10-25 02:24:00 | Just change the boot order in the BIOS on most motherboards. Pretty much-but I've noticed that the computer boots up slower if I have a non-bootable disc in the drive |

| 714552 | 2008-10-25 07:11:00 | Yep that's right - set the boot order to Floppy, CD-ROM, HD. It will try to boot from floppy if there is a disk in there (and if it's not bootable you'll get the "insert system disk" message). With a CD, it will only try to boot from the CD if the CD itself is bootable. |
