Another noob in need of help

[ALI1]

Everytime I Turn On My Computer, It Gives Me The "failure Boot Disk, Insert System Disk And Press Enter". In Order For Me To Fix This, I Just Go Into My Bios, Then Exit The Bios. And It Works Fine...... Why Does It Keep Doing That???

A failing battery perhaps?

 

[ALI1]

if i restart the computer, it will not give me the message. It only happens when i completely turn off the computer, then turn it back on......


if it was a failing battery, would it give me that message?

 

[SirKenin]

Yeah. If you shut the computer off and turn it back on, the battery should keep the settings. In your case it's not.

Check if you have a floppy or a CD in the computer. When you leave a floppy in there, and start a cold boot sequence, the BIOS thinks your trying to boot from the floppy. Remove it.

Yeah. That's almost a sure sign of a bad CMOS battery. Nothing serious, just need to swap it out.

remember to save and exit from the bios and i agree failing battery just replace it
