No, on that score you're really out of luck. The boot sequence should
always have cd's in it somewhere otherwise nobody can protect the
security
of that computer. Now, what happens if some virus installs and
successfully blocks access to your cmos? I'll tell you what happens,
it's
time to throw that computer and all the equipment and software that
came
with it in the garbage because at that point, not even the best sight
on
the planet can help you.
