WinXP read information from BIOS

Hello,

I need retrieve certain BIOS settings when I use WinXP. Its simple for some function like ServiceTAG or Asset TAG.

I cannot read status of remote WakeUp from BIOS. Is exist any tool which I can use to get this information? I dont/cannot install Dell Client Manager. I need simple tool rather.

I use Dell Optiplex 745, 755, 760, 780 and Latitude E6400, 6410, 4310.

Regards
