lol, the BIOS is on the motherboard.
Reset the CMOS to take care of that, then format the hard drive.
google "reset CMOS".

filthysanchez09- so I’m supost to open the thing up and pull out some battery thing? I dont want to do that if I absolutely have to. It also said something about holding the insert or delet buttin while turning it off. I’ll try that and if that doesn’t work ill open it up, but the thing is its a labtop and I don’t know anything about labtops. I’v only worked on towers.
