At booting up of system i keep getting the the report from my NSW rescue diskette: changed CMOS changed bootsektor Restoring this from rescue disk i get another report when restoring the changed bootsektor "error saving to hard disk". Nevertheless, the system can then be booted alright. But consequent booting without before having applied the information on the rescue disk would result in: changed system clock (year 1995) second hard disk not accessible (d:) I have been troubled by this problem for some weeks now. Thus my normal procedure to boot is running the rescue disk, restoring the lost information and then booting normally. Any suggestion how to remedy this?
