Can I bypass BIOS scrren during Win7 boot

[InterfaceMan]

Hi,

Do you know any script or setup that will allow me to bypass motherboard bios setup screens during win7 boot. I have ASUS P7D55-E Pro motherboard.

Thank You,

what you want is not possible on a pc.

I'm more bewildered by the need to bypass the BIOS screens in the first place. Aesthetics?

Best you can probably do is enable the full screen logo unless that is worse than the console information during boot for what you are doing.

My current setup shows:

Ist screen: Blank screen
2nd screen:ASUS logo and all other button info ( Del-setup etc)
3rd screen: Jmicron Controller ( SATA III drive)
4th screen: DVD and CD_ROM device found
5th screen: Then Win7 boot screen

Since my OS in on SSD, 5th step only takes 9 sec but first four takes around 15 seconds which is very annoying.

Just put the computer in S3 sleep when you are done using it instead of shutting down. It will be back up and running MUCH quicker than booting it completely. Reboot every so often and just suck it up for 15 seconds.

Ok, so its not the screens but the time it takes. If they took 100ms each then you would be ok with it. Sorry, I am not seeing a wait to hard/cold boot any faster. Give what tomt4535 has suggested and see if that works for you. Also try decaffeinated drinks (joking).

If you are not using it, turn off the Jmicron controller. That will cut down on your boot time.

And going even further you could take out the boot from CD/DVD and just boot directly to the hard drive.

Go into BIOS and look for a quick-boot option and enable it.

Yes it can be done but not without considerable risk and knowing what you are doing. It involves hex editing the bios to not display the information which is pretty simple for anyone knowing how bios work, you just replace the calls to the display with nop.

Would that speed up the boot process (which I assume is what the OP is after), or just hide the screen displays?

It would just hide the screen display. The bios has to go through the steps of finding how much memory, what hard drives are attached, etc to be able to boot the OS. You could trim some of the time off start up if you knew you were always going to boot from the primary controller or SATA port 0 by removing the detection from the other ports so that it only would initialize the first port. You could also remove initialization of the other systems not necessary to boot the pc. Most OS, windows, linux unload the BIOS when they boot and only need it to get started. How much time that would buy probably isn't much.
