Detailed explanation-1: -In the early days of personal computers, the floppy disk was set as the first boot device and the hard disk second. Subsequently, the CD-ROM was chosen to be the first and eventually a USB drive.
Detailed explanation-2: -When you first turn on your computer, the BIOS first performs some integrity checks of the HDD or SSD. Then, the BIOS searches for, loads, and executes the boot loader program, which can be found in the Master Boot Record (MBR). The MBR is sometimes on a USB stick or CD-ROM such as with a live installation of Linux.
