Thanks Thomas
The battery seems to be the consensus choice. I'll replace it, but now I
have three more questions.
Are you certain the CR-2032 button is what I need? Also will the computer
give me the option
when rebooted to go to my CMOS settings, and exactly how do I run "auto
drive detection"?
I know one question leads to three but I'm better safe than sorry.:-)
