Heya Percy, Well... one sign of a bad mobo battery... is that the clock is always resetting. Hmm... have you considered that the IDE cables are bad? Or maybe just a simple reset of the BIOS to defaults would do the trick? Or try having the HD settings already punched into the BIOS/CMOS whatchamacalit...
As for the PS/2 port? Hm... I have encountered that in one machine, pero patapon na ren yun, since the PS/2 keyboard wasn't working as well. =( Pero gumagana naman ang serial mouse? Wala na ko maisip... /me passes the ball to nearest bystander...
