Varies by manufacturer. Watch the screen as the computer boots. The key to
enter setup is often indicated.

Here are methods for popular makes;

Not trying to be unkind but if you have to ask this question you should be
very careful about what you do when you get into the bios. However, there
typically is a "Restore Defaults" command that will get you back to working
if you screw something up.

RTFM. This has nothing whatsoever to do with Windows.

actually it does. im trying to get my c drive to format on
my new windows xp. and im trying to do it through my bios

You wouldn't format through the BIOS, you would do it by booting the WinXP
CD and formatting from a command prompt.

upon boot-up...press on the delete button repeatedly unti you find yourself
staring at the bios screen. this usually works. if not, then your bios
uses another key in order for you to get into it.

Erm, no it doesn't. Windows has nothing whatsoever to do with the BIOS, just
as the BIOS has nothing whatsoever to do with Windows. And, in order to know
how to enter said BIOS, do as I suggested and RTFM! If you knew one iota
about computers you'd know that!

If you have XP on your C drive then you cannot format it. Go buy a
computer book about XP. :-(

Only you know what motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know
the answer to your question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual doesn't
contain the needed information, try one or both of the following:

That's totally incorrect. Where'd you ever get such an idea?

regards,

During boot up, look for the BIOS key in the POST. Try ESC, F1 or go to
the mfg web site. Joe R
