System setup

- Not all of BIOS is absolutely fixed.…BIOS by its nature has to keep track of assumed hardware…that may change over time.…For example, it's going to keep track of your hard drives.…If you've got one, two, three hard drives,…and the capacity of those drives,…it's going to remember things like the boot order,…if you've got three drives,…which on you going to boot off of?…Or would you like to boot off your CD-ROM first?…So, if we have changeable aspects,…then we have to be able to get into the BIOS somehow…and make those changes.…

And the tool we use is the system setup,…sometimes known as a CMOS setup to us older guys.…Whatever the term, to get to your system setup,…you've got to watch your computer.…Boot your computer up and watch the screen carefully.…At a certain point you'll usually see something that says,…"Press DEL to run system setup."…or "Press F2", you have to press the button.…Usually you only have like a couple of seconds…and you hit the button, and poof!…You're magically transformed into the world…
