I plan to have it onhand for the switch. I multiboot with win311 and have cmos backedup with Norton Rescue. I also found the time was set to utc and I switched it to local time. Now it seems to leave the clock alone and booting to win3 and the time is correct today.
You didn't explain that before. If the battery is bad, which is what you said, there is a message from the BIOS when you boot that says that the battery is bad and that you must replace it. There is no possible mistake in reading that message. If the battery runs low, the CMOS configuration will be cleared and reset, and you also get a very clear message about it. Now what you say is that the time was simply set wrong -- that is a very different issue, and a known one when you boot both into Linux and windows on the same machine, and has nothing to do with the battery. Please, when you email to the list, please be careful and precise about what you write and don't point us on the wrong direction! -- Saludos Carlos Robinson
