Hi there,

If you are talking about a motherboard bios then yes it is possible with, AFAIK, all motherboards. In general it requires downloading a bios upgrade from the manufacturers website. This is usually run, extracted, to a floppy disk and then booted from directly. The best thing to do is find out your motherboard details, visit their website, and check for updates and help guides as they vary greatly and can of course cause total inoperability if proceeded with incorrectly.

HTH, T.

Yep, as Tierra says, proceed with caution. Unless your BIOS is way out of date and your having problems, leave well alone.
