BIOS Features Setup
Use the arrow keys to highlight “BIOS Features Setup” and press <En-
ter>, a screen similar to the one below will appear.
The Virus Warning option may be set to “Enabled” or “Disabled”. When
enabled, the BIOS issues a warning when any program or virus sends
a Disk Format command or attempts to write to the boot sector of the
hard disk drive. If you are installing or running certain operating sys-
tems such as Windows 95, please disable the Virus Warning or the
operating system may not install nor work.
If you choose “System” in the Security Option, you will be prompted for
a password every time you cold boot your system or access setup. If
you choose “Setup”, you will be prompted for a password only when
trying to access setup.
Use the arrow keys to move the highlight bar to the option you wish to
change or modify. Use the <Page Up>, <Page Down>, <+> or <-> keys
to make the corresponding changes. Press <Esc> after making the
changes to return to the main menu.
