hi james,

it really does look like you're in a mess.
From what you describe, I would say, the save screwed up bad, making your
bios corrupt.
When you removed your battery, did you wait some time for the "static
voltage" (don't know what it's called) to go away: you see, your bios should
be drained completely to loose its info.
Another possible way to fix this, is visiting the
motherboards-manufacturer-site.  Download a Bios-flash (be carefull to take
the identical biosflash, corresponding to you motherboards type!), create
the BIOS-bootdisc, and flash that eprom!  Maybe this will do the trick.

HIH,

nic
