Generally speaking, installing an operating system will not require any changes to the BIOS, other than perhaps changing the boot order to launch the installation disc.

It is when your current Operating System and files are wiped from the main harddrive and a new copy of the operating system is installed.

Where do you find bios directory in windows?

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.


Trying to install a new hard drive on a toshiba t2130cs laptop has 530 bios installed but receive a no ROM basic installed any ideas where you can obtain this from?

"ROM Basic" refers to the BASIC interpreter found in old IBM PCs. When the hard drive was not installed properly, you would be dropped into the BASIC interpreter instead. Most PC clones, including your laptop, do not include a BASIC interpreter. Make sure that you have installed the hard drive properly, and that you have installed an operating system on it. Otherwise, the laptop will not be able to boot.


Why does dell recommend Vista as its operating system?

Microsoft discourages computer manufacturers from selling equipment with older operating systems installed once a new OS becomes available. It is usually more financially attractive for the manufacturers to offer the new operating system as Microsoft may give them discounts for purchasing it, and perhaps take the discounts away from the older operating systems.
