27. no - his statement is accurate
the CMOS is low power consuming technology of the the BIOS - the screens that show the memory test, devices, etc. If the battery is bad, then infact, the harddrive parameters are lost.

However, I haven't seen any motherboard that needed manual configuration of the harddrive parameters since about 1996. The industry has its stuff together so well, that most hardware is plug and play. The bios should recognize the drive. Maybe it did.

I think I may have replaced one battery in my time. I agree that in my experience, they last for years.
