Reset CMOS?

[7AIR28]

My previous thread I talked about a problem booting the OS on my new PC, I discovered the problem was infact the Win7 disk its self. So i copied files onto a flash drive and the OS loaded successfully.

But now I think i may need to reset the CMOS, I have heard that pulling the CMOS battery out will reset it but how long do i need to leave it out? i read somewhere that 2 hours is average? is this correct?

20 minutes should be more than sufficient for a CMOS reset, no need to let it sit for 2 hours.
