If it can be a Windows utility, there are several.

well, thanks a lot merlin and johnwill for your responses.

The tools you have mentioned will run only in windows.

    I want a tool which can run at bootup (start up) time in DOS mode.  I mean a tool which can collect important information from BIOS. Not a manual procedure

  Secondly, I need information from BIOS like computer name, processor type, memory, total disk space.... I need those information in the form of a report, can be .txt or .html or any format.

  If the tool (.exe or .com or .bat) can be used to get basic system information from BIOS and which can run in DOS mode, then I can use the same tool to get system details from not only windows machines but also from other OS based PCs say Linux....

  Thatz my idea to maintain by Lab machines.

  Friends help me in this regard. I hope your co-operation will be there for me.
