The information I am receiving on my computer screen is as follows Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A01 Copyright 1985-1988 Phoenix Technologies Ltd. Copyright 1990-2004 Dell Computer Corporation All Rights reserved Dell Systems Dimension Dimension 3000 series BIOS version A01 www.dell.com Invalid configuration information- please run SETUP program Diskette drive 0 seek faliure performing automatic IDE configuration Primary Master: Disk Drive Secondary Master: CD-ROM Device Secondary Slave: CD-ROM Device Time of day not set -Please run set up program Type the password and Press ENTER to leave password security enabled Press CTRL ENTER to disable password security Enter password How do I fix this problem? I have removed battery, moved jumper pins from 1and 2 to 2and 3 and back again to on and 2 . I have also run computer without battery for 20 seconds with no luck.
Generally, one enters the BIOS Setup screen by pressing either F2 or Del. There is usually a message on the bottom of the first boot screen that indicates what button is correct for that model.
Looking further into the details that you have given, it seems that your CMOS battery has died, so you will need to replace that. (This is what is causing the "Time of Day Not Set" message most likely.) You can get the appropriate battery at Radio Shack (if nowhere else) for about $5 or $6.
I will definitely purchase a new battery it is worth $5 or $6 to try to fix the problem. Thank you
Glad to be of assistance. Feel free to let me know if I can assist you further.
how do you reset time and date after replacing the battery
You can do so either through BIOS or by setting it within Windows. Both will have the same effect. If you are not familiar with configuring the BIOS, then taking care of it in Windows would be the way to go.

SOURCE: when i turn on my computer all it says
just unplug the diskette from the motherboard and it all will go away
SOURCE: I have a Dell Intel Pentium 4 Processor: 3.00 GHz
Go and press F2 then find Load Default or something similar as each BIOS is different.
If it then loads, change the cmos battery.
SOURCE: What's your problem?a way to turn the SATA ports to ON in the BIOS
You can go into the bios and on those drives that are not found you can turn them OFF or N/A. They are probably set to AUTO or ON.
If that does not work I would say remove the power cord, remove the cover, then remove the main power to the motherboard then plug the main power to the motherboard back it. The main power will run from the power supply and the end of it will be about a 2 inch strip that plugs into the board. Press and hold the little catch on it then pull it out of the socket on the board. Put it back in firmly. Reboot and see what happens.
