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.

Virus Warning

This field protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk

drive. When this field 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 field.

Also, disable this field if you are installing or running certain operating
