Guest Bert Kinney Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: Will a "System Restore" affect BIOS changes? Hi Justin, No, System Restore will not have any effect on BIOS settings. Here is a description of System Restore: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/description.html Here's a list of files and folders System Restore monitors: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/filesfolders.html Regards, Bert Kinney MS-MVP Shell/User http://bertk.mvps.org Member: http://dts-l.org Justin wrote: > Will a system restore to an earlier date change back changes made to the > system BIOS?

No. System Restore Restore restores major components of the Windows operating system. The System BIOS has nothing to do with Windows, and is entirely external to it. Although Windows can see and use the BIOS settings, they are similar to things like jumper settings on the motherboard or a hard drive. Windows is aware of what the settings are, but can't change them in any way. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup

Unless you're talking about a disk image which might contain one of the older BIOS partitions like Compaq inflicted us with years ago.
