Reset Configuration Data
If you install a new piece of hardware or modify your computer's hardware
configuration, the BIOS will automatically detect the changes and reconfigure
the ESCD (Extended SystemConfiguration Data). Therefore, there is usually no
need to manually force the BIOS to reconfigure the ESCD.
However, sometimes, the BIOS may not be able to detect the hardware
changes. A serious resource conflict may occur and the operating system may
not even boot as a result. This is where the Reset Configuration Data BIOS
feature comes in.
This BIOS feature allows you to manually force the BIOS to clear the previously
saved ESCD data and reconfigure the settings. All you need to do is enable this
BIOS feature and then reboot your computer. The new ESCD should resolve
the conflict and allow the operating system to load normally.
