Re: BIOS doesn't support auto-boot

You can check with the manufacturer but to the best of my
knowledge this isn't a feature that can be added with something
as simple as a BIOS update.

If you haven't done so already, you might want to post your
question to the XP Hardware or General newsgroups. Someone
there may know of a workaround that will help you accomplish
your goal.

Good luck

What if the bios program doesn't support an auto boot, can
it be upgraded or modified?

How do I enable Windows XP to auto-boot everyday?
Please note that I'm not looking for a reboot, but an
auto-boot where windows is completely shutdown

What your trying to do has nothing to do with Windows. It's
a function of your hardware.

Check the manual that came with your computer. Some, not
all, systems have a feature in the BIOS that can be set to
start the computer at a certain time. Start your computer
and look for a line that tells you what key to press in
order to enter the Setup program. For many systems it's the
F2 or Del key. Once you've got the Setup program running
look for a section titled Power or something similar.

Bottom line is that you should check with your computer or
motherboard manufacturer for more info on this matter.

Good luck
