Is there any method to go to the BIOS after one has already booted and
is in the Operating System?

No. You can't get to it from Windows.

When you boot your computer, do you see something that says "press delete"
to enter bios - or something similar?
Believe it!

No. But what specifically do you want to do in the BIOS from Windows? Any
changes in the BIOS would require a reboot anyway not to mention that
tampering with the BIOS can prove to be quite dangerous if one doesn't know
what they are doing in there.

Someones question regarding "PC will not shut down completely",on a
NewsGroup, the other day a person suggested and said "Go into the BIOS
and disable any remote or USB provisions for turning the computer on
and, -----", I have no problem like this but I wanted to see the setting
in my BIOS. Just out of curiosity.Otherwise I know that one has to enter
BIOS at the time of boot by entering Delete key.

So, get into the BIOS at bootup. If you're afraid that you'll inadverdantly
change a setting and screw something up, just make sure that when you exit you
choose "Ignore changes and exit". Even if you're sure that you didn't change
anything, exit that way anyway.

Just a quick comment on that last sentence. No, it's not necessarily the
delete key.One common way is to press the Del key when you first power on,
but that's not necessarily right for your computer. Watch the screen
carefully when you first boot; there's often a message there telling you
what to do. If not, check your system documentation or check with your
vendor.
