Boot your computer on install media
Insert your CD or plug your USB key. Turn on your PC. Your system should detect
Mandriva Flash and ask you whether to boot from the hard disk as normal
or from the USB key. On some systems, you may need to press a key to
choose the boot device or
configure the BIOS boot device
precedence. Refer to the next
section for instructions on configuring the BIOS.
Install process is starting
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is used to setup hardware devices and then
boot an operating system on the PC platform. On most systems, you should press
the Del key to enter BIOS settings while the system is booting
up (during the memory
test). Other vendors use
the 'ESC' key or the
F2 key to access the
BIOS. IBM/Lenovo machines also
have a blue Access/ThinkVantage
key that you can
use to access the BIOS configuration
screen. If none of these keys work, refer to the PC manufacturer manual for
specific instructions. Go to the page 'BIOS Features Setup' (also sometimes
called Advanced BIOS Features or Boot Options)
and set the flash
drive as First Boot
Device. You can see
your computer or motherboard
manual for instructions on how to use the BIOS configuration screen.
