... it means that the cmos battery is "duff" ... you have to be carefull and fast when changing it. If you have a bios password set do NOT forget it!

... what it's saying... "what date is it?" ..."who am I?"...

... If it has been "tampered with" ...you may see the same results!

... if thats the case I can tell you ... it'll be "ibm" security... locking the bios and the "harddrive" which cannot be used on another machine!

Grrrr
