George, Your problem is not in the CMOS settings. Most likely, you did not reconnect the cables correctly for your drives. Or you "bumped" them loose while you were changing the battery. Any time you open the case, a good timesaver is to ALWAYS....ALWAYS check EVERY wire and cable and make sure they are plugged in good and tight _before_ you put the cover back on. Even if you didn't "do anything" with that particular piece of hardware, it is very easy to nudge a cable.
