Basically, your BIOS can provide PnP information, as well as your OS. Pnp OS Installed is On = BIOS will not provide this info [because Windows prefers not to receive it, and might get confused because it can see more of your hardware than the BIOS can, sometimes] Pnp OS Installed is On = BIOS will provide this information. Linux prefers to use the BIOS as a basis for mush of its PnP work, so you should always turn this on, even on dual boot machines. Something nifty I learnt from doing an RHCE.
