I am the original owner of ACER TravelMate 330T laptop.

http://www.acer.com

Without my knowledge, my CMOS is passworded, and I
need to reinstall my system.  Now it is impossible because
I have to go into my CMOS and make the computer think
that the D drive is the A drive.

The traditional method is to take out the CMOS or BIOS
battery or change jumpers.  This is not as simple as it seems
on a laptop.

I found a program called KILLCMOS which doesn't seem to
work.

Any other suggestions.

I need to get to work.
