is it possible to alter the code of the bios so that on post along with the text that says "press del to enter setup" it can say press f2 to redo hard drive" and have it run a bat command?

If you know how to write code, and there is room in the BIOS file, you can do almost anything (I guess).
Why would you want to add this command?

the company i work for wants to alter the bios to allow customers to press a button and recover their entire drive, how would i go about decompressing and decrypting the bios?

Where would this "batch command" be located?

like c:\restore.bat
which would hold
echo y | format c:
copy *.* d: c:

Why not just do that as a "menu" command after POST?
