i used a program called @Bios to update my bios, since then when my pc boots there is no boot screen.. just a black blank screen, then an ''out of range'' warning shows.. eventually the pc boots on into a fully working xp... problem is, i have 2 xp's on this and 2 hard drives.. first should i ever need to reload windows.. i don't anylonger have access to the ''press any key to boot from cd'' message because i have a blank screen when the bios boots.. secondly, i don't get the choice to pick which xp i want to load.. gigabyte made the mb and said to ''try removing the cmos battery'' to reset the bios because the bios program ..'' @Bios" says it has been updated to the most recent version. however they email message they sent also said i would lose my OS if i did this... now if that is true and i lose XP then if trying what they say will leave me with nothing if it fails to work because if it fails i won't have the option to boot the xp to reinstall xp... but at the same time the email said doing this little trick would not affect anything on my hard drives?
?
so they have me lost
to the point
if it take the battery out for 2 mins. and that resets the cmos... will i possibly lose what fuctionallity i still have left?? or will it just fix or not fix the bios problem and i'll be fixed or still where i am now with at least xp running until it happens to get messed up and needs to be reinstalled..
any help would be greatly appreciated
