I booted my compaq presario 486dx 2/66 and the bios told me that the date
and time had been lost. however, it booted into windows 98. i shut it

down,
replaced the battery, and now it says at bootup:

1782-Disk Controller Failure
1792-Secondary Disk Controller Failure
162-Options not set

i assume i need to go into setup and reset some lost settings. but i can't
get into setup. i've got compaq setup disk on floppy but the computer
doesn't go to the floppy. what do i do? thanks for the help
