CMOS Data: Maybe you have heard somebody saying that his or her CMOS DATA was lost. What is
the CMOS? Is it important? The CMOS is the memory used to store the BIOS parameters that you have
configured. This memory is passive. You can read its data, and you can also store data in it. But this
memory has to be powered by a battery in order to avoid any loss of its data when the computer is turned
