Bios is independent of the operating system. The steps vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the usual process is pressing the F8 key when the computer turns on. The timing is important. On an older computer you may have time to see a 'loading' screen, which may also have instructions near the very bottom or the very top of the screen telling you what button to press. An example would be, right after the computer turns on you see the Dell symbol, and near the bottom of the screen it says '[F8 to enter Setup]' or something of this nature. This will load the bios. Although, I would like to add, given the nature of the question, your understanding of bios is very poor, and unless you are directed by a professional, or are absolutely sure of what you are doing, dont make any changes to the bios.

If you have windows 95 and are trying to upgrade to windows xp but the upgrade won't work what is the problem?

you cannot upgrade from win95 directly to xp without a fresh install, if you have purchased an upgrade disc, you need windows 98 or newer. If you have purchased a regular install disc, back up your important files, and boot from the install disc, you do this by setting the BIOS (in "setup", before the O.S. starts to load)

Try disabling hyperthreading (HT) in the BIOS. Windows 98 cannot utilize the features of hyperthreading, and having it enabled may interfere with the way Windows 98 expects to handle threads.
