Reset Configuration Data
If you install a new piece of hardware or modify your computer's hardware configuration, the
BIOS will automatically detect the changes and reconfigure the ESCD (Extended System
Configuration Data). Therefore, there is usually no need to manually force the BIOS to
reconfigure the ESCD.
However, sometimes, the BIOS may not be able to detect the hardware changes. A serious
resource conflict may occur and the operating system may not even boot as a result. This is
where the Reset Configuration Data BIOS feature comes in.
This BIOS feature allows you to manually force the BIOS to clear the previously saved ESCD
data and reconfigure the settings. All you need to do is enable this BIOS feature and then
reboot your computer. The new ESCD should resolve the conflict and allow the operating
system to load normally.
Please note that the BIOS will automatically reset it to the default setting of No after
reconfiguring the new ESCD. So, there is no need for you to manually disable this feature after
rebooting.
