Most of the settings for your pc to work properly are done in this mini program that runs at your pc's startup. Detection of hard drives, memory, etc... To access it, at pc startup, just press the DEL or DELETE key, or else F1. Some manufacturers don't do it like the others and the right keys are often shown at the bottom of the screen.
