Get yourself a Dashboard.

Do some searching, you will find it.

Personally, I like Avalaunch.

You will need, like icecreamguys said, to download a dashboard.

The bios is like the kernal of an operating system on a computer. The dashboard is your GUI. It allows you to interface with your bios. Okay... not the best analogy in the world, but I think you get my point.

I also recommend Avalaunch or UnleashX. I'm a tad more partial to UnleashX myself, but they are both great dashboards.

EDIT: Besides, it's kinda dangerous to just to use your bios. You might be able to with the newest X3 bios (I dunno, I haven't updated mine yet: I'll probably do that later tonight.), but it's like always being Root on a Linux system. You might potentially erase needed files or accidently reformat your box. So, it's good practice to use a dashboard.
