Reset Configuration Data
If you install a new piece of hardware or modify your com-
puter's hardware configuration, the BIOS will automatically
detect the changes and reconfigure the ESCD (Extended
System Configuration Data). Therefore, there is usually no
need to manually force the BIOS to reconfigure the ESCD.
However, the occasion may arise where the BIOS may not be
able to detect the hardware changes. A serious resource
conflict may occur and the operating system may not even
boot as a result. This is where the Reset Configuration Data
BIOS feature comes in.
This BIOS feature allows you to manually force the BIOS to
clear the previously saved ESCD data and reconfigure the
settings. All you need to do is enable this BIOS feature and
then reboot your computer. The new ESCD should resolve
the conflict and allow the operating system to load normally.
