I really messed up on this when I removed the cmos battery #2032 with 3 prong holder and glued to the motherboard with a piece of sponge.
It was taken out completely and replaced a week later to find the computer would not boot, although the message for the almost dead cmos no longer came up. I thought I followed the instructions in the manual that came with it for control/alt/escape to set it up again. It then asked for a system disk, does that mean Windows 3.1 (which I have) as it gave me a message that it was not a system disk or a bad one. What am I doing wrong?
I really appreciate your help as I have had it for a long long time and betting that I lost some info, if not everything that wasn't backed up.
