Precision T5810 two DVD drives, how can I change that used to boot from at the start of the optical drive

My T5819 of accuracy came with two DVD-RW drives, a thin line 8 x, HL-DT-ST DVD + - RW GTA0N SCSI CdRom Device, the other a full size 16 x PLDS DVD + - RW DH - 16AES SCSI CdRom Device.

To start from a CD bootable (e.g. Acronis image recovery disk) at the present time, it's the drive slimline (E:\) is seen from the trunk once optical drive menu start. I would prefer that it if it was a (currently F\ :).) What should I do to get the disks exchanged in the system (so the reader 16 x becomes E\: and I can start, and control of thin line becomes F\ :)?) Is it simply a matter of reconciliation where they are plugged, or y at - it a bios option (or both?)

JR-

Guess the permutation of the cables can be that you are the only other choice. Restart, and then press F2 to open the BIOS Setup. Copy down all current settings, just to be sure.

Power then off, unplug and press/hold power button for about 15 seconds before opening the case.

If these are SATA optical drives and reached the data cables, do not bother exchange of berries. Just swap the cables. If they are IDE drives connected to the same wide ribbon cable, you will need to Exchange in the drive bays. That you want to create a primer must be connected to the end of the slick IDE and other intermediate connector.

Once that is done, remove the battery from the motherboard and the press/hold power button for about 30 sec force the BIOS to check the material after reinstalling the battery. Then reboot normally from the HARD disk.

If you get errors booting from the HARD disk, restart again and press F2 to go into BIOS again. Make sure that all the BIOS settings match what you wrote down or change to match. Save the changes and exit the installation program.

Assuming everything works now, try to boot from one that corresponds to your favorite optical drive.

You may need to check again drive letter assignments in Windows Management Console once it works the way you want.

Or just learn to live with it like that...
