Hi, unplugged from mains, remove the main battery first, then remove the battery on the motherboard for about 5mins. This will clear the CMOS and return your BIOS to it's default settings.
Replace the motherboard battery and your main battery, boot, enter Setup or Boot Options, adjust to boot from cd and try to install windows.
(when i advised Clearing the CMOS by Jumper I was presuming you had a desktop pc)
