long story ... so i'll just cut to the chase ...

i disabled all the load vectors in the bios of my old gateway fx7024 except usb. needless to day, windows does not load. i get the error message: "a bootable device has not been detected. please refer to the product guide at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop".



i tried removing the cmos battery. waiting 24 hours. replacing the battery. no change.

i understand there is also a cmos chip that i can reset but i can't find it. can you pinpoint it in the following photo?

(virtualdr won't let me insert the photo here ... so here is there direct url: http://s1063.photobucket.com/user/Ta...ml?sort=9&o=17)

thanks in advance
