You need to get a Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows XP boot disk and boot your laptop. Ignore all messages and once at dos prompt, type the word "TIME" and set the time and hit enter. Then type the word "DATE" and then set the date. (You do not need to type the commands in capital letters)
Can you boot normally into windows? Time and Date not set is usually the result of the battery and backup battery (buttoncell) going dead so the BIOS loses the time and date. Is that the only error message you're receiving?
