Bios Question

I just built a computer with spare parts I had laying around from about 7
different sources (a real Frankenstein) and everything is fine except for
one thing. Evidently the motherboard was originally from a "Emachine"
computer (I know, they're crap) and when it boots, the "Emachine" banner or
whatever it's called, displays before windows (XP Pro for testing) starts.
My question... is there any way to get rid of this screen? I looked in the
bios setup but found nothing. Thanks for any help or advice. Joe in Texas

it maybe hard coded to the chip...most have some kind of 'switch' for
turning it off. I am receiving my sisters old -emachine- shortly. I'll
have a look see. if you have not sorted it, ill get back to you.
