Find someone who knows how to correctly set-up the BIOS.  You erased all the settings when you removed the battery.

Hey. I had a similar problem when I put together a new computer. My computer gave that message and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I played around with it a lot more and finally found the solution. If you just built a computer and are receiving this message, it is very possible that your hard drive ide connecter cable and your cd rom ide connecters are mixed up. Make sure your cd rom connecter is beneath your hard drive.
