Do you have to make a bios backup in order to install an OS like windows xp?

No, to my knowledge the BIOS of a computer is not affected by the installation of any Operating System (OS). The BIOS provides some common information to the OS, so the OS does not have to know specific things that may be different from computer to computer, like the type of hard drive for example. The BIOS takes care of how the hard drive is configured so the OS does not need to worry about it.

Why BIOS is being updated?

The basic input/output system (BIOS) on a computer is a simple yet important program on a personal computer (PC) that helps the computer properly boot and run an operating system (OS) during startup. BIOS drivers are typically used in reference to the program itself, and how the program runs and interacts with other devices on the computer. The BIOS drivers on a computer are saved on a small battery located on the motherboard and allow for the proper initialization and startup of a computer when powered on.

The operating system of most computers does not contain the BIOS. The BIOS is stored in a chip on your motherboard. he is right the bios is not stored on your OS...however if you wish to access your BIOS you need to restart your PC and when you get to the first or second black screen (when it reads your processor information and etc) it will says "Press <insert key here> to enter setup" (or something similar...keep in mind all chipsets are different) keep rapidly tapping that button....(what i do when i first start up a PC and need to get in the bios i alternate between F9,F11, and delete until i get in the bios since these are the most commonly used keys to enter your bios)
