If your BIOS should become "infected", or if you should inadvertently write
bum data to it, The BIOS may be restored to its default settings simply by
removing all power to the BIOS for several hours. You may simply disconnect
the CMOS battery. With most motherboards you may disconnect CMOS battery
power simply by removing a jumper. After the BIOS has been restored to its
defaults, you will of course need to run the BIOS setup utility so as to
enter the settings that apply to your system.
