If the OS is not found in whatever you have as your first boot priority, does it check the next in line on the priority list?
I read that the first thing I should do when turning on a new build is enter the BIOS and set the boot priority to the optical drive (if you are booting from the CD). Then after Windows is installed, go back into the BIOS and set the priority to the drive you installed on.
If the BIOS does go through the list checking for the OS, can't I just leave it at checking the hard drive (or SSD) first, which would save me a restart? That way it would check the hard drive, skip it, then check the optical drive and find it. After that, it would check the hard drive and find it from now on.
Any problem with that?
