its what tell the computer what to boot first, it can be anything choosen by the bios, if you go into the bios you can change the boot order.
It is not known who invented the BIOS of a computer however Gary Kildall is credited with creating the term BIOS in 1975. The BIOS is the first application that loads when the computer is booted up.
The long form of BIOS is Basic Input/Output System. BIOS is a firmware used to perform hardware initialization during the booting process and provides runtime services for operating systems.
BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System. It is firmware used to perform hardware initialization during the booting process of a computer and provides runtime services for operating systems and programs.
bios is PC not windows, bios can be loaded when you first start the pc, it normally has a hotkey like f8 f10 or f11
Memory address FFFF0h is the memory address always assigned to the first instruction in the ROM BIOS
The BIOS.
The memory address FFFF0h is always assigned to the first instruction in the ROM BIOS startup program.
Startup BIOS first checks all the essential hardware components to make sure they're working and displays its progress on-screen.
CMOS Setup The BIOS is the name of the ROM Chip that holds all the data about how to start the computer up, and perform POST,Power On Self Test etc. And the CMOS was a software located on the BIOS Chip that enabled a UI for one to change the BIOS settings, ie like time, date, other settings.
If you have the BIOS and Administrator password, there is no need to "break" them.
Hi there,here is what I can do for you.Wish for help. Perform the update. Run the downloaded installer or application executable for the BIOS updating software. If the software prompts you for a floppy, use a formatted 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk. It doesn't matter if the floppy is blank or not because the data will be overwritten if you don't mind wiping the disk. 1. If using a floppy, insert it into the drive and restart the system to boot from it. Some floppy images contain an "autoexec.bat" file to automatically run the BIOS update. Others will just have the update software, the updated BIOS image, and possibly a 'readme' text file containing directions. If there are no directions, but there are at least two files (ie: "A06_123.bin" and "awflash.exe"), follow this example: Enter a command such as "awflash A06_123.bin" and press enter. This will execute the update software and specify the A06_123.bin file to flash the BIOS. 2. Compare the two versions. Most BIOS update software will read the existing BIOS image and determine its version, then compare this to the downloaded BIOS image. If the system's existing BIOS version is older, perform the update. The user interface of BIOS software may vary greatly, yet typically menu buttons or selections such as "Write", "Update", or "Confirm" will perform the BIOS update. Save
