Hello muhammadjawad153,

TO CHANGE 1ST BOOT DEVICE TO HARD DISK...
At Startup press "F2" to enter setup;
Arrow down to select "Boot device configuration" - press enter;
Arrow down to select "1st boot device" - press enter;
Arrow cursor to select "Hard disk" - press enter;
Press "F10" to save changes;
Select "Y" for yes to confirm saving changes;
Press "esc" to go to main menu.


Thank You,
Dell-Jesse1
