What is bios and cmos?
BIOS = Basic Input Output System CMOS = Copper-Metal Oxide Semiconductor BIOS is the interface which is built-in to a computer system's firmware used to configure the computer system hardware in very basic ways. BIOS can be used to enable or disable hardware integrated into the motherboard such as IDE controllers, USB hosts, audio controllers, video, and more. It is often accessed by pressing F2 during startup, but this can change from manufacturer to manufacturer. CMOS is a type of circuitry often powered by a battery which allows the information in BIOS to be stored. If the CMOS battery is drained or removed all the system configuration data in BIOS will be reset to factory defaults every time the computer is shut off. These small batteries are also commonly used in calculators, hearing aides, and wristwatches. Due to the close relationship between the BIOS and the CMOS in the computer system, the two phrases are often incorrectly used as synonyms for each other. Some users will refer to opening the BIOS menu as "going into CMOS" or replacing the CMOS battery as "fixing the BIOS battery." However, none of this is seen as grammatically incorrect in common day-to-day conversation.
What is the difference between the BIOS and a device driver?
Well,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. In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.
Where will you put the bios in PS3 emulator?
There are no PS3 emulators and the bios file for the PS3 would not work in a PS2 emulator
Suppose you have obtained a ps2 BIOS from the internet and you have the pcsx2 emulator installed where do you place the BIOS files in order to play ps2 games?
You have two options. There is a subfolder called 'bios', just place the file there. Otherwise, if you want to place it in a different folder, go to configuration settings and change the bios directory from there...
Who are the manufacturers of system BIOS programs?
There are several BIOS manufacturers in existence. Phoenix and American Megatrends (AMI) are the two major ones still in existence (Award was purchased by Phoenix in 1998). Some OEMs, notably Toshiba, also develop their own BIOS in-house.

What is BIOS battery?
The function of a bios battery is basically to reset your bios if something goes wrong and you corrupt it. Bios batteries usually contain a little bit of information on them. Therefore, when you remove a bios battery, it goes back to default settings. **Note** removing a bios battery is usually a last resort to reset your bios. There are several other ways to reset your bios such as a jumper cable or (included in some never motherboards,) a reset bios switch.
How does the bios relate to the cmos?
BIOS (basic input output system) is the menu system programmed into the firmware of your motherboard which allows you to change its settings and input some basic hardware information. CMOS (copper metal oxide semiconductor) is a type of battery. It is the type of battery most commonly used on motherboards to power the circuit which remembers the BIOS settings and system time. Without a CMOS battery, this data will be lost every time the system is powered off. In common nomenclature, these two phrases are often used interchangeably. Some people will refer to the BIOS menu as the CMOS menu, and will refer to the CMOS battery as the BIOS battery.

What happens if the CMOS battery is bad?
You'll loose your BIOS settings and the computer won't be able to recognize some of the settings. If the battery goes dead, replace the battery, enter the BIOS settings and load the default, then do whatever is necessary under YOUR BIOS to recognize your hardware, then save the settings.
Is BIOS volatile or non volatile?
BIOS is a program (stored in ROM), not a memory.However the BIOS uses a battery backed up RAM to store a variety of settings and parameters. This BIOS RAM is itself volatile (it can only store data when powered), however the battery backup provides power to this RAM when the main power of the computer is off (making it act as if it were nonvolatile). When this battery dies the BIOS RAM will lose its data and (after the battery is replaced) the machine may have to be reconfigured from scratch before the machine will startup correctly.
What does the battery in your desktop computer run?
It powers the BIOS memory, keeping your bios settings active, and it powers the clock.
