Hello

I've just bought a Toshiba A60 notebook running Windows XP Home. Can I
set a password to be used even before Windows loads, please?

Read the User's Guide that came with your Toshiba notebook
to learn how to set a BIOS password.

Thank you. I did read the user manual but couldn't find what I wanted,
however a phone call advised me that there was an extended on-line user
manual which has told me what to do.
