Have you gone into the BIOS/CMOS while the computer is initially 
starting. Since you have installed a new battery, the BIOS should 
automatically find the correct amount of memory in your computer and 
remember it. In the BIOS, check to see that the hard drive(s) is 
correctly identified. You may have to click on the "auto" key for your 
hard drive(s) if there is an "auto" key in your BIOS (there are many 
variations in different BIOS). In essence you want to make sure that the 
BIOS has correct information. You should save any changes and exit the 
BIOS. The computer should then start without a problem. If not, please 
post again for further help.
