Award BIOS Setup Utility
3.1.2 Advanced BIOS Features
The Advanced BIOS Features allows you to configure your system
for basic operation. Some entries are defaults required by the system
board, while others, if enabled, will improve the performance of your
system or let you set some features according to your preference.
The settings on the screen are for reference only. Your version may not be
identical to this one.
Virus Warning
This category protects the boot sector and partition table of your
hard disk drive. When this item is enabled, the Award BIOS will
monitor the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk drive. If
an attempt is made to write to the boot sector or partition table of
the hard disk drive, the BIOS will halt the system and an error
message will appear.
After seeing the error message, if necessary, you will be able to run
an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any
damage is done.
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot
sector table will cause the warning message to appear. If you are
running such a program, we recommend that you first disable this
category. Also, disable this category if you are installing or running
certain operating systems like Windows
®
95/98 or the operating
system may not install nor work.
