BIOS Features Setup

This "BIOS Features Setup" option consists of configuration entries that
allow you to improve your system performance, or let you set up some
system features according to your preference. Some entries here are re-
quired by the motherboard's design to remain in their default settings.
A section at the lower right of the screen displays the control keys you can
use. Take note of these keys and their respective uses. If you need informa-
tion on a particular entry, highlight it and then press the <F1> key. A pop-up
help menu will appear to provide you with the information you need. To
load the last set values, press the <F5> key. <F6> and <F7> load the BIOS
default values and Setup default values, respectively.

Virus Warning
This field protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against
accidental modifications. Any attempt to write to them will cause the sys-
tem to halt and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either
allow the operation to continue or use a bootable virus-free floppy disk to
reboot and investigate your system. The default setting is "Disabled". This
setting is recommended because conflicts with new operating systems. In-
stallation of new operating systems require that you disable this to prevent
write errors.
