423317	2006-01-22 04:23:00	Yup, just found the same site. It has also got this BIOS Guardian BIOS Guardian by default is enabled. It must be disabled in order to reflash BIOS, thus effectively acts as a fire-wall against viruses that can attack the BIOS while the system is running. WARNING: While excute Step3 below, please do not turn off the sytsem power in order to avoid BIOS damage. BIOS Guardian can be disabled as follows: 1. Go to BIOS Set Up Menu. (Press Del key while booting.) 2. Go to Advanced BIOS Features Set Up Submenu. 3. Disable BIOS Guardian. 4. Save the setting, and restart system. NOTE: However, if it is disabled and while boot the system, the POST screen will be held and shows you the message to let you know the current status of BIOS Guardian. To press G key will enable the BIOS Guardian again; or simply to press the space bar will continue the booting process Easy Key Instead of completing the multi-layered BIOS setup process these 3 Easy Key functions provide direct access to Sub-Menu’s when completing BIOS settings adjustments. Easy-Keys are as follows: Ctrl + c: To enter clock settings menu. Ctrl + p: To load Performance Default settings and restart. Ctrl + f: To load Fail-Safe Default settings and restart. - Press ctrl+f in the BIOS. See what happens.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

423324	2006-01-23 20:10:00	since this happened only after a reformat (which may have gone haywire?). the bios might be trying to load a backup off the drive. seggestions. disconnect harddrive and try and boot (check bios) reformat again or use fdisk	dbs (8785)
423325	2006-01-23 20:48:00	since this happened only after a reformat (which may have gone haywire?). the bios might be trying to load a backup off the drive. seggestions. disconnect harddrive and try and boot (check bios) reformat again or use fdisk Say what? A BIOS doesn't keep a backup of anything on a hdd. I would try and see if u can reflash the BIOS, from the site you found before. It might fix the BIOS screen.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
