BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk
BIOS Recovery Boot Block
The BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS. It is used to boot up the system with minimum BIOS
initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware to the factory settings if a BIOS flash
process fails.

The system provides a function hotkey:
Fn+Esc
, to enable the BIOS Recovery process when a system is
powered on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and
Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called
