There is no "bios" directory in windows (or, any other operating system). BIOS stands for "basic input output system", and is a very basic set of instructions for the hardware to initialize itself and prepare to load an Operating System. BIOS is almost always held in an EEPROM on the computer motherboard. Accessing and changing this EEPROM can only be done through special programs specifically designed to modify the BIOS. In most cases, PC BIOS is not directly readable by you - rather, you can update the contents of them by using a bios flash program. This program (usually supplied by your motherboard or computer maker) is run, and provided with a pre-made image file, which contains the entire new BIOS code to be loaded in. This update program is an ordinary program, and can be run from any location (directory) on your computer.
