change boot device settings

I'm trying to use Autoclave software to clean the HD of an
old computer for donation. You're supposed to power-on
with the disk in the drive, but the software doesn't load
when I do this. I'm told I need to "change the computer's
boot settings so that the floppy disk drive is the first
boot device."

Any idea how to go about this?

Thanks,
Moe

Depends on the motherboard, what is the make and model of computer?

Access BIOS setup and look for an option that sets the device boot sequence.
Make sure that the floppy disk drive is first in the sequence. The exact
procedure depends on the brand of BIOS installed in your machine. You
access BIOS setup using a special key such as DEL or ESC or F1 while the
memory count is ticking over immediately after power-on. The key to press
should be displayed on-screen. You motherboard manual should have full
details of the BIOS setup procedures.

Well, Google failed me for once:
Your search - AT&T Globalyst 363 TPC bios - did not match any documents.
