BiOS settings

 

-Create USB bootable disk

Note: It doesn't work if you burn your USB disk with ultraiso on windows,

You can use liveusb-creator instead.

 

Download CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso, and burn it into your USB disk,

Copy CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso to USB disk for later use. (because when I intall centos, it requires the ISO file)

 

-Disk reclaim
