thats were your wrong mate, cause havin same prob before with vice city, to set clock i done the same. put in old hd set time put in new hd and time was set. it honestly works. try it if ya dont belive me lol

hehe suuure
doesnt really matter
i just figured that cuz the only thing the system runs off of is the bios and the hdd
and the hdd is where it saves the info
so if u add the ideas together
u should get the picture
