CMOS boot sequences...

My preference is to set it to boot from floppy A: then CD-ROM then the hard drive.

 

The reason I like to have it set up this way is to enable booting a floppy with a basic operating system ( OS ) that I can run FDISK to set up hard drive partitions then run FORMAT and then boot an operating system CD to install it.

 

I do this without the system being physically being connected to an Internet connection as the system is most vulnerable during the OS install installation without a firewall.

 

I then insure that the OS's firewall is activated and begin the process of installing the OS Security Updates.

Thank you guys for your info.

 

I never knew your OS was most vulnerable to viruses and things while the OS is being installed. Thanks for the page, 1984. I am going to book mark it. :P

 

 

Lol, thank Mike, he posted it first! :)
