Almost all BIOSes releases after 1995 support disks larger than 504 MB.
All i810 motherboards support up to 127 GB hard drives. A few may have BIOS updates to allow for LBA48 operation, allowing even larger drives.
Bootable devices are pieces of hardware that the BIOS can load an operating system or special program off of. These can be floppy drives, CD drives, hard drives, USB flash drives, tape drives, SD cards, and certain ROM chips.
yes, as long as your system bios has been told to look at external drives for boot up.
LBA Mode, PIO Mode, and Ultra DMA Mode.
BIOS is only to detect the drivers. You will see each driver in the BIOS setting. If you have 2 hard drives, you will see 2 drives in BIOS,but if BIOS Only recognize 1,that means 1 drive have a problem. Happen to me many times. Then when finally you are in windows(desktop)then you click on my computer and click on every hard drive then you will see the size of every drive. But not the 1 that was not recognized,because it will not be present.
Wake on LAN has nothing to do with operating system. It's an option which can be allowed by BIOS. You need to check your BIOS settings and find out if BIOS on your motherboad supports such option. If it does you will see, also you will be able to enable it if it wasn't done automatically.
A computer BIOS initializes and tests the CPU, RAM, chipset, video card, keyboard, hard drive, optical disk drive, floppy drive, and interrupt handlers. Additionally, the bios will check ports on a computer.
- How hard drives and other drives interface with a computer system (type of cables and connectors used by drives, motherboard or expansion cards) - Data speeds and transfer methods between the drive controller, the BIOS, the chip-sets on motherboard, and the OS
System BIOS touches little boys while startup BIOS drinks lava lamps and snorts cocaine
Hell no. the bios sits under the operating system (vista is an operating system) the bios is independent of operating systems, and is there to....run the operating system.

CHS mode, ECHS mode, and LBA(Logical Block Addressing) mode also known as limitation mode. these mode are use by the bios to figure the hard drive space.
