Comment: Hi expert folks, Ever before I mentioned that I got the old laptop Compaq series 1625 model unit with a 266 MHz AMD-K6 MMX enhanced processor, 128 MB RAM, 512 KB L2 cache and 24X CD-ROM with 4 gig HD. The problem is that recently when I turn on the laptop, during the booting it displays, CPU= AMD-K6 266 MHz 00000640k system RAM passed 00130048k Extended RAM passed 0512k Cache SRAM Passed Mouse initialized Fixed Disk 0: FUJITSU MHA2032AT ATAPI CD-ROM: TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1802B ERROR Save to Disk partition not found 0270: REAL TIME CLOCK ERROR feature is disabled Run phdisk for information. FILE: create new. PARTITION: consult manual. Hit any key to exit. F1 boot F10 Computer setup How do I fix it? Thanks for idea!

Reply: (edit)This makes me think that maby the BIOS battery has gone dead: "0270: REAL TIME CLOCK ERROR feature is disabled" and this one sounds like the hard drive is having problems although could also be because of the flat battery: "ERROR Save to Disk partition not found" You should have a look in the BIOS and check the startup options, it seems very likely the BIOS battery is flat.

Reply: (edit)I agree that it sounds like a bad CMOS battery. Did you press F10 to access the BIOS & check your settings to see if they're correct? If the date/time are wrong, that's a sure sign that the battery needs replacing.
