Going into BIOS to modify parallel port settings

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Although this is for my new laptop, this could be for all WINDOWS
systems. Please forgive me if this is an inappropriate group for this
post.

I don't know how to perform the zeroth step in the installation
instructions for my old external disk drive on my on my new laptop

-> IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU GO INTO THE BIOS OF THE
-> COMPUTER AND ET THE PARALLEL PORT MODE TO EPP. THIS
-> SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE INSTALLING THE DRIVER FOR WINDOWS

Any instructions on a simple way to modify the BIOS would be
appreciated.

With your help, I made this step towards my goal.
Before I came here, I was struggling with the HELP
utility in the CONTROL PANEL, without any success.

Its remarkable. I can request help in the US and receive help
from somebody in Austrailia. In a sense, I got help from tomorrow.
Now I could need help on what dog to pick at the races.
