Hello all,
Last night on my PC at home I was playing about with a program for changing
BIOS settings (I think it was called TWEAK~219 or something similar)
Anyway, now the PC won't load. It goes past "Press DEL to Setup" but doesn't
get as far as reading floppy or hard disk.
I've tried pressing DEL and going in and resetting all the BIOS settings to
the original defaults but it still won't load.
What can I do now ?
Will removing the CMOS battery reset everything ?

bty : cheapo AT mobo, Award BIOS V4.51, Cyrix 6x86 200MX, 2x 1Gb Seagate

TIA
Laurie
