CMOS settings corrupt. (Long power failure? Backup battery going dead? Could
be.) Obviously, the CMOS things drive C is a CD-ROM. Usually, hitting Del
or F1 (there should be a message saying what) will get you the CMOS setup
durin startup. If there's an option to autodetect, use it. If not, or
twiddling the CMOS doesn't fix it, take the computer to your service dealer.
