Do you set the system options? The 162 error is telling you that the CMOS
settings are corrupt, i.e. they have changed in such a way that they need to be
set again... Ben Myers

i have the solutions.. i have encountered same problem.. but luckily i solved it with patient :)
after message 162 system options not set appears.. i let it run for about 15 minutes and it sets by it own.. and lastly it boots up.. but you need a RomPaq to update your bios need to create a boot diskette if you changed your original hard drive coz need to reconfigure the boot hardrive... or else it wont boot from HD.
