Detailed explanation-1: -BIOS (basic input/output system) is the program a computer’s microprocessor uses to start the computer system after it is powered on. It also manages data flow between the computer’s operating system (OS) and attached devices, such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse and printer.
Detailed explanation-2: -The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is an example of a program that is stored in ROM. The BIOS runs as soon as the computer is switched on. It checks that the hardware is functioning correctly then loads the computer’s operating system. Because the BIOS is always needed it is stored in ROM.
Detailed explanation-3: -In computing, BIOS (/ˈbaɪɒs, -oʊs/, BY-oss, -ohss; Basic Input/Output System, also known as the System BIOS, ROM BIOS, BIOS ROM or PC BIOS) is firmware used to provide runtime services for operating systems and programs and to perform hardware initialization during the booting process (power-on startup).
Detailed explanation-4: -Electrically-erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM)-Often used in older computer chips and to control BIOS, EEPROM can be erased and reprogrammed several times while enabling the erase and writing of only one location at a time.
