Default 163 - Time & Date not set

HI, I wasn't sure what section to post this in so feel free to move it.


I have a compaq presario 5000. When i try to boot it up I get this warning:

163 - Time and Date not set
The system time is invaled. This may be a result of a loss in battery power. Set the correct time and date using your OS. If this mesage persists you may want to replace the onboard battery.

I changed the time and now it constantly restarts itself. I can press delete and go to the OS but can't get to windows.

QUESTIONS 101
1. BIOS battery could be dying.
2. Where did you "set" the time and date (BIOS or in windows)?
3. Could also be a corrupt MBR/Windows install.

Not entirely sure here: does the time constantly get messed up? (if so then the battery is dead). As for the second half .. what OS are u running?
