I recently helped a friend build her first computer. It has an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo.

In the BIOS, there is a section to set the boot order of the drives. Right now, we have it set to boot from the CD drive first, then the hard drive, then the floppy drive. Is this how it should be set up? And does it even matter if the floppy drive is a boot device?

This is how I have my machine set up, and I've never noticed any probs, but just thought I'd ask since I wanna be sure for my friend.

BTW, the above-mentioned drives are the only drives in this computer (no DVD burner or anything else right now).

just set the IDE HDD first, so the boot process is gonna be faster.
The second boot or third doesent matter, just configure your primary HDD as the Primary Boot device and save changes.
