Abstract
A system and method for securing configuration information for a computer system. The method comprises saving configuration information in CMOS memory and automatically programming that configuration information into a non-volatile memory. The system includes a processor, a CMOS memory, and a flash memory. The system also includes a computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored therein for causing configuration information, when saved to the CMOS memory, to be automatically programmed into the flash memory and for causing configuration information stored in the flash memory to be automatically retrieved from the flash memory and written into the CMOS memory every time the computer system is powered on or reset.
