boot pics
does anyone know where the computer stores those logos (the small or large one) that some computers put on the screen while it is starting up (like when its telling you press del to enter bios..
it might be stored in the chips not the hard drive infact it prolly is, but if it was on my hard drive i would want to try to change it.. lol

I know its not on the hard drive, cause you can boot to bios an get that pic without your hard drive connected. I think its saved in bios some how, on the motherboard. You might be able to change it through bios, but my guess is you cant, cause its the manufactures logo, and they wouldnt want you to change it anyway.
