There is some problem in my Laptop. It refuses to go ahead of the BIOS. When I press <F2> to enter bios setup it shows
"System BIOS Shadowed"
"Video BIOS Shadowed"

Why? What does "shadowed" mean? What should I do?
My system is an old HP Pavillion ze5385us.
 
Try clearing your CMOS, resetting your BIOS, and when you can enter it, load FAIL-SAFE defaults. Check the sticky if you don't know how to.

Good option - try it.
 
If it refuses to go into BIOS how on earth do you reset the BIOS?

Normally if I wanted to do this, I would have to physically take out the little watch battery on the motherboard. But he has a laptop which isn't exactly the easiest thing to take apart.
 
Try calling the company you bought it from. Maybe they can help if its still under warranty.
