No, you can't. Try it some time. The BIOS is just software, same as MS-DOS or Windows or anything else. It gets loaded from ROM, but once running, it needs primary storage (stack and heap space, in RAM) just like any other program. Most BIOSes even have a "POST beep code" for "No RAM found", because without primary storage, the system can't even muster enough marbles to get you a video display. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
