Hey guys

I can't seem to access the BIOS of Windows when I load it up on my MacBook. Is there any way that I can create a menu, so that after I select Windows XP after holding alt on startup, I'm brought to a new Window that has 3 options:

Windows XP (boots regular XP)
Windows XP Safe Mode (brings me to the safe mode selection screen)
Windows XP BIOS (brings me to the BIOS)

And a timeout of about 10 seconds, after which, the first will be selected? I think it would have something to do with boot.ini, but I don't know exactly.

Thanks for any help!

the bios isn't from windows. it's a chip inside a computer that does a lot of the basic functions prior to booting. macs don't have one. they use efi which is totally different. there's no way to have an option in the windows bootloader to bring you to the bios and especially not when you don't even have one.
