Dont use the recovery console, it doesnt work and it wont keep whatever fucked your OS in the first place from doing it again. I left a solution in your marketplace thread, give it a read.

I've used it with success on a few occasions and running the command I said will not fuck up the machine any more than it is... Yes, the OS disk.

i think if you watch while your computer is booting there will be a message like "press tab to see more information" you want to do that, then it might show you some error messages.
also it won't say "hit f8 to enter boot options" you just have to keep hitting it the whole time its starting and you should get into the screen.
if you don't, then it sounds like when you removed your battery it reset everything and for some wacky reason its not booting from your hard drive.....SO
what you need to do is go into bios and set your hard drive as the first thing to boot up. that should get you back to where you were i think?
and if all your wanting is just a file, then if you search the internet you should find a way to copy files from your hard drive to a floppy or possible a thumb drive inside dos.
oh oh i know what you could do, go download ubuntu and make a boot disc. then that will boot you into linux and you can copy your files....tada!!!
you shouldn't have to install it to the hard drive it should just boot from the cd...read everything closely.

To me it sounds like it is booting to the HDD and is unable to load the OS.

I made sure it is booting from the HD and it is. There are no errors listed in the error log.
Is a Ubunta boot disc different from downloading the cd installer but instead of running it from the cd I burn it and boot from disc?

Did you try the RC?
Also this will work, plug the usb into your laptop and copy the files from the old drive.

IF that is the disk then yes, if not then no. I just order that usb converter adapter. I figure I can move the files to the work lap top and then reinstall windows fresh and then move the files back over with a flash drive. Will keep you updated how it works.
Thanks for all your help!

Neat gadget, essentially an external HD connector without the housing and a $100 markup.
