I have a second old 80386DX (40 MHz) PC with following problem:
It has lost the date and requires to go into AMIBIOS Setup every time PC is switched off.
Generally AUTO DETECT HARD DISK could find "47 User type".
As long as the PC was not switched off, I could work with it and start Windows (3.11) correctly.
However, if switched off, even after having installed a new battery, it looses the date again and requires AMIBIOS set up again.
Last time this has been done by a friend, I don't know, what he might have "disabled" or "enabled" in the setup menus, but the result is that it says now: NO HARD DISK INSTALLED !
(AMIBIOS DATE is 11/11/92)
Can you help me please ??? What can be the reason ? Is the harddisk destroyed ? erased ? Not year 2000 capable ?

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE QUALIFIED ADVICE.
