ABSTRACT:
A method for updating a ROM BIOS includes the following steps: a step for reading an image data of a ROM BIOS which is to be updated; a step for reading a ROM BIOS image data from a ROM BIOS; a step for reading a new ROM BIOS image data from an auxiliary memory; a step for reading a new user information; a step for converting the new user information into an image data; a step for updating the new ROM BIOS image data and user information in the ROM BIOS. Since the user updates a ROM BIOS image data for oneself, the user information displayed during a POST operation can be displayed in the user's characteristic message. Therefore, the user can recognize one's computer through unique characteristics that are displayed on a monitor and easily identify one's computer among many different computers.
