Problems solved by technology

If the battery power is exhausted or the checksum of the memory is wrong, the data stored in the volatile memory will be lost. At this time, the BIOS will load its default value, and each option needs to be reset one by one; if the setting is wrong or If the parameters are incorrect, the booting process will not be smooth, or even the booting cannot be completed, or after the booting is completed, the hardware cannot work normally due to incorrect setting parameters, so you must restart the boot and enter the BIOS to reset, and if the settings are incorrect It is necessary to repeatedly restart the machine, thus causing the inconvenience of resetting
[0005] Furthermore, the current BIOS setting method is inconvenient, because all computers with the same equipment must be set one by one, which wastes manpower and time virtually.

Abstract

The invention relates to a setting method of a BIOS (Basic Input / Output System), which is applied to a computer with an internal memory, a CMOS RAM (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Random Access Memory) and a BIOS-ROM (Basic Input / Output System-Read Only Memory), wherein the BIOS-ROM is provided with a first option file. The setting method of the BIOS is characterized by comprising the following steps of: providing a setting interface of a second option file for setting the second option file; storing the second option file into the BIOS-ROM; and loading the first option file and the second option file into the internal memory in the original state of starting-up of the computer, amending and / or merging the first option file according to the second option file to form a third option file and loading the third option file to the CMOS RAM, therefore, the starting-up program is performed according to the third option file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a BIOS setting method, in particular to a method for setting and storing BIOS setting data through a second option file setting interface. Background technique [0002] When the computer is turned on, the basic input / output system (BasicInput / Output System; BIOS) stored in its read-only memory will check the peripherals and then initialize them. When the BIOS confirms that the status of the peripherals is normal, it will Enter the operating system (Operation System; OS). [0003] Please refer to Figure 1 for the booting procedure of the computer. In step 100, when the computer turns on the power switch, it enters the power-on state; in step 110, the BIOS installed in the read-only memory of the computer will carry out a power-on self-test (POST; power on selftest); in step 120 , press a specific key, such as the Delete key or the F2 key, to enter the BIOS setting interface; if you do not enter the BIOS setting, then enter ste...
