The computer loads the default 
configuration settings. This error 
might indicate that CMOS has 
become corrupt due to a weak 
CMOS battery.

could not be found or initialized. 
Make sure the hard drive is correctly 
installed.

or power cycle is required to reboot 
the machine. This message appears
