Primary master hdd error (by 2 users)

posted by ekimus on Dec 29, 2007


Hello, everytime I boot my nec vera vx laptop running on win98, I get an error:

primary master hdd error
run set up
press f1 to continue...

basically, I've runned the bios setup and set my primary master to autodetect but still the same problem arises. In a series of restarting my laptop using ctr+alt+del. my laptop started to load windows. I've planned to reformat and reinstall windows however, I might get stuck with the same error....

Is there anyone who can help with this problem. thanks a lot.

It sounds like to me that the battery that is used to back up the NVRAM is going.
This also called your CMOS battery.
