I have a IBM Thinkpad 600x with a CD drive and a dead battery(not the CMOS)(I use the wall charger). I am trying to access the bios to allow me to boot the Cd I have with Windows XP on it, cause the OS right now doesnt work.
The problem is that everytime I boot up the laptop, I get error 8611, which brings me to a series of error codes and i have to F1 to boot normally. But the error seems to bypass my ability to access the bios. Any suggestions? Thanks
