Which option did you select F1 or F2? You're getting this error because a setting/s in your bios has changed. At boot, select F1 and look around in the bios for settings that may not be correct. Make sure your hard drive is being recognized at the correct size. This isn't easy because if you didn't know what the settings were before, how are you going to know if they're not correct now? You may have to do a little experimenting.

It is natural, because you reset the BIOS, once you reset it, your previous setting will be lost. And the bios generate an message CMOS setting wrong, because you don't set it up, so to set up your going to BIOS setup menu (pressing F1) to change correct setting, if youre not familliar to those setting press F2 this will load the default settings that means the manufacturer setting will be loaded and it is safe, because it is default.

For more information regaring the BIOS try to read you motherboard manual, there is a lot of things that you will know....
