Dell - Install Hard Drive

yeah, that was just a generic pic of what to look for as far as the CMOS jumpers are concerned. Actual location on the Board itself will vary with different brands. Just look for a 3-pin series with a jumper covering two. Typically towards the edge of a Board. Although a few exceptions, it's almost *always* near the battery (less than 3/4 inches away).

Can you take a pic of your Board's battery-area and host it on Imageshack? We can pinpoint it for you.

Just take out the battery, and unplug EVERYTHING. Simplest way. Even I do that. Quick & easy.

I tried looking for some good pics on the internet, but couldn't find any close-up enough to point it out. If you can take one of your battery and surrounding area, though, that would be good.
