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.:-) Ron If you have any questions or problems with any aspect of this site, please feel free to contact me directly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not post personal issues directly to the group.
