   HELP! I'm locked out of XP because of ch

   Hello Everyone.   
   I sure hope someone can help me.  I purchased an old DELL   
   Optiplex running XP.  When I first got the machine, I went into bios   
   and disabled the chasis intrusion detection and saved cmos.  I was up   
   and running great.  Well it appears the cmos battery went dead and the   
   bios defaults kicked in and the chasis intrusion was set to detect.   
   Now, XP will only get to a point and stop.   
   	I remember having this problem a long time ago and having to   
   use a diskette to reset something.  Once done, XP would boot up fine.   
   I don't remember what was needed, so now I'm stuck.   
      
   I have an old Dell GX-1   
      
   Since I have been using this machine, I have a lot of stuff on   
   there I need to get to.  If anyone can give me any help in fixing   
   this, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!   
      
   I went into the setup, but didn't find any IOAPIC settings.  My   
   machine is a GX-1.   
      
   Thanks
