A computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the heart of most modern personal computers. It is the part of the system that executes when a computer is first turned on, before any other programs or software are run. It ensures that the computer is set up correctly and is able to run properly, at least until subsequent programs and software are run. One such set up is the MBR (Master Boot Record), which is on the primary system device, commonly, but not always, a hard disk. Once the BIOS determines where the primary system device is located, it then uses that device's information to locate the area where the MBR resides (also referred to as the "boot sector"), examines it for errors, Computer Viruses, etc, and then allows the MBR to run; on most systems, this will initiate the computer's operating system, which is the part most commonly seen and familiar to that computer's user.
