detects no floppy drive, it will display a floppy disk drive error message. If this item is disabled, the BIOS
will skip this test.

through PASSWORD SETTING, this option will deny access to your system (System) or modification of
computer setup (BIOS Setup) by unauthorized users.

When you choose Setup, a password is required only when accessing the BIOS Setup. If
the correct password is not given, you can't enter the BIOS setup menu. (Default setting)
