eMachines - boot trouble

[schulte]

i have an emachines comp. i reinstalled xp home, then attached a seperate internal had drive to transfer some files back to it. when i shut it down, took out the added hard drive, and try to boot it, all it does is go to the eMachines logo white screen and do nothing. any ideas?

thanks

Try clearing the CMOS, resetting the date and time, saving the settings and restarting the computer.

i sugest using the emachine as a boat anchor instead. but if you must use it as a computer try the clear cmos, then if it still doesnt work, hmm, memory maybe?

My emachine m6809 boots to a blank screen with a blinking curser. So I thuoght to change the cmos battery because I can't get into the program. but I can't find the location of the cmos bat. I took it apart all the way past the keyboard and no bat. then I was told it was located under the touch pad but can't figure out how to take it apart.
