That's not a very good sign I'm afraid.  Even when the BIOS battery is stone dead you should get a BIOS failure message.

No, the computer starts normally, the problem is that before he read the 1.44MB floppy and now only 770KB.
This machine has no battery so I do not know why he lost the initial settings this is the picture of my motherboard:  |

Have you tried to reset the bios? I don't really know how to do it, but this is a way how my brother fixed a PC's BIOS. You should give it a try, but I can't give you, in details, how to do it. Maybe TFH or Dosraider can give you detailed info on that.

Oh crap, what a blast from the past.....
Jumper settings OK? http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherbo...-ACER-710.html Check if the SW2 pins or flat cable pins aren't corroded. *Qui ci doveva....* qué? If you ask why there is no battery, if I remember swell there was only one when the second BIOS IC was present ... or something. Was used for larger 'user definied' HDs or extra extended memory ????.... pffff something, whatever, don't matters anyway. [Edit] @Pellaeon, don't think those old BIOS could be 'reset', no 'user definied' data in those ol'ones. Came only later or as extra.

So no change in BIOS, and it suddenly started recognizing your floppy drive as a smaller one?
Or, did you change the drive to a different one?
