Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are a method and a system for managing basic input/output (BIOS) configuration data of a BIOS. The method includes: reading a BIOS program code, and executing a BIOS program; when executing the BIOS program, executing different code segments in the BIOS program according to read BIOS configuration data; and when new BIOS configuration data is required for executing the BIOS program, using a value in a new storage area as the new BIOS configuration data. Through the solution provided by the present invention, it can be ensured that, after the BIOS program is upgraded and when the number of configuration items is increased, current BIOS configuration data in a storage medium is still read effectively.
