To Jerry-- The mother board is fairly new, it is of a cheap make though
its a AsRock P4S55FX Every thing else seems to be reading fine, I dont
think its the battery

Okay, from your description in this and your last post, your first issue is
with jumper settings.

As I understand it you have 1 harddrive on the primary IDE channel and 1
cd-rom on the secondary IDE channel. Is that correct? I bet it also takes
about a minute to get through the initial POST screen whereas it should be
about 1-2 seconds.

Assuming the above:

Set the jumper on the harddrive to Single Master. It is likely set to Dual
Master right now.

Set the jumper on the cd-rom to Master or if available Single Master.

For Cd-rom click on "manual" on the right side and scroll down to jumper
settings

Please continue the original post next time instead of creating a new post
on the same problem so others can follow the thread.
