Yes, Not being able to get into anything, it is pretty hard to diagnose the problem. I have tried a boot disk / f8 and tried to get into the bios.. No luck, That error is the only thing that pops up,then it freezes..
I was thinking of taking it apart to try and reset the bios by removing the battery ...

It kinda had to be something like that because you should be able to get to BIOS even if Windows is screwed.
Keep an eye on the time/date. If it starts slipping (or you hit this problem again) replace the CMOS battery. They are usually very cheap.
