Hi there,

Recently, I got the upgrade bios rom from the manuacturer and tried
to upgrade my bios so it will let me define the configure of my new 
hard drive. However, after I put the new bios in, the system just acted
like there is no bios at all. I called the tech support and they told
me that I have to reset the CMOS first. I have tried to touch the cmos reset
spot on the motherboard, but no luck. So, my question is how to reset CMOS?
Disconnect the battery or ... ? And, what is the procedure to replace the
bios? (My original bios is two 128k Eproms and the new one is two 256k Eprom.
Also, I already adjusted the jumper for the eprom size) 

Any help will be appreciated!
