Default Time Date problem help please

Run a repair install, from the Win2K disc (if you have it).

This is accomplished by: Booting from the CD. Running setup. When asked
which partition to use, choose the current system partition. It will,
then ask you if you want to repair or blow it all away and do a fresh
install. Choose 'repair'.

Don't know if that will help. Quite frankly, I've never heard of this
kind of behavior before. Might, also, have a bad/dying CMOS battery...

Roland stood up, at show-n-tell, and said:

Installed a hard drive in a P4 mb from another P4 mb with os win2k and
after the quick test of ram, message "press F1 for setup" Cmos
incorrectly set up. Found date and time incorrect, reset and
re-booted. Bios setup finished and the long white bar stating that
windows is starting appears, the long white bar fills in and stalls.
Few re-boots with same results. Switched off computer and cleared
cmos, restarted and received the F1 message and an F2 message saying
it will load defaults. Accepting this, windows boots perfectly. The
date is Feb 10th 2003, so adjusting this in windows, and rebooting,
back to same problem, and have to clear cmos and choose F1 or F2. If I
leave the date at Feb 10th, all operates perfectly. Changing the date
in the bios setup mode produces the same result, just doesnt like
todays date. Any suggestions please...

The first and easiest thing to try is to replace the CMOS battery--it looks
like a nickel--on your motherboard. After start-up, specify all for your
BIOS settings again... and hopefully that will be the last time you'll need
to do so! ;-)
