I’m pleased to say there is a way & I came on it by accident !

Install Virtual PC OR Virtual BOX onto the machine. Virtual PC behaves in exactly the same way as the PC hardware does - meaning when you start it up – you see the PRE-POST screen / POST etc. & as a result you can press [Del] or [F2] etc. & open your PC’s BIOS – from there you are able to wander arround the system’s BIOS as if you had litterally booted the machine from fresh !!!

One note of caution though – as far as the facts displayed are concerned & that is – BECAUSE it is VIRTUAL – there may be a difference between the hardware that VPC can see ther true hardware – so I would check the actual BIOS details in REAL TIME & marry them against the VPC BIOS & if they match – you have your screen shot !!!

I hope this helps :o )

I’ll be posting a question of my own soon – regarding how to run a reg file at startup -SILENTLY – without the confirmation dialogue showing ! If you have any ideas – please look it up & I’d be pleased to hear from you !

Cheers for now.
