In IBM PC compatible computers, the basic input/output system (BIOS), also known as the System BIOS or ROM BIOS , is a de facto standard defining a firmware interface.

When in computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.

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.
