250 GB, ATA 100. I am unable to install Win ME (off CD) from DOS using...

I believe I will have to replace my battery soon as spasmodically on boot,
my clock boots to a nonsense date (ca 2010?). The box is 4 yo so a new
battery is not unreasonable.
Will replacing the battery reset the BIOS to default settings?
Is there any software to save to disk (3 1/2 or cdr / cdrw...

Flash drives -- Dumb Q by
Matt J. McCullar
Geez, have I got a lot to learn! :) That's one reason I enjoy newsgroups.
I have never used a flash drive, though I have seen them over at Fry's. I
think I'd like to try one for primitive backup purposes and portability's
sake. They're certainly cheap enough, and I do have USB 2.0 now.
