Vista Boot Order Query.

I changed the boot order on an old Toshiba laptop when reinstalling from a recovery disc. My problem is, l can't remember the original boot order. It currently looks like this,

1. HDD
2. CD/DVD
3. FDD
4. LAN
5. USB Memory

Does this appear OK?

TIA.

    That looks fine - the rest of the boot order doesn't really matter when you have the hard drive first (and that's all you want to boot fro normally) as the rest of the items will only come into play when the hard drive fails to boot. At that point you can change the boot order as needed to suit any recovery options you need.
