Every time I turn on my HP Vectra QS/20, it tells me there's a
configuration error.  Checking it, there never is.  I know that
the manual says this is a sign that the battery pack needs 
replacing, but I bought it new 14 months ago, and the time/date
is still correct.  Any idea what else would cause this problem?
After the memory check, it prints a number, but I don't remember
what it is (09xx, don't know the x's).  I don't have the BIOS
book to look that error up.  Suggestions?  Thanks,

Mike

I looked it up in my Vectra RS/ES manual, and I didn't see anything for
09xx.  I _did_ see 9xxx, which is the floppy disk subsystem.  I think
9001 is drive A:, 9002 is B:, etc.  Try running SETUP.EXE to be sure that
CMOS knows what floppy drive(s) are installed.  Note that there is a flag
set for "Invalid Configuration Information" and sometimes you can fix
the problem by just starting up SETUP and exiting immediately.

I hope this helps.
