I am having trouble getting to this pc's cmos, so i can adjust settings. I
tried to reset the cmos by pulling the battery out to rest. i then put it back
to re-boot now it goes throught the dell screen than gives me text across the
top of screen of !Warning that the cover was removed than a couple of minutes
another message comes up right underneath says:
invalid configuration, run setup.

Question is how do i get in and how do i setup? the pc was given to me so I
can troubleshoot but was not given dell disk is there a key combination i can
use to get past this to get to the cmos?

any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
