Hi Angelus,

How you access the BIOS depends on your system, there are several methods
used by the many manufacturers. They all have one thing in common, in that
this is done when the system is first turned on (where you see either the
system self-test or POST, or a manufacturer's splash screen - just hit
escape if it's the latter). There is a message at some point that will read
something like "hit <somekey> to enter setup", <somekey> can be delete, F1,
F2, F10, the spacebar, or even a combination of keys.

Once you are in the BIOS, you use the arrow, enter, tab, and + or - keys (no
mouse in here) to navigate and make changes. Again, as there are many
different manufacturers, the exact location of each thing you are looking
for will vary by system, but most of what you are looking for should be in
one section. At the bottom of the screen are usually F key commands to save,
exit, etc. When you are done, you want to save changes and exit. If you
screw up, and are not sure how to undo it, just exit without saving changes,
the system will restart and you can try again.
