The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard.    This program is a 
bridge between motherboard and operating system.    When you start the computer, the BIOS 
program will gain control.    The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power 
on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and 
configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.  Only when these tasks are
