I think you might have a problem with the *Other* battery in your machine.
According to what I was reading on IBM's web site, there is a small battery
in the machine for storing various configuration information.
A call to IBM Support might confirm this or prove that I'm completely wrong.
But, I think it would be worth the call.

I didn't describe my problem very well.
Last time i took out my regular battery it reset all my hardware settings of
the
BIOS. For example i had DMA1 and DMA3 on the sound chipset, and DMA0
to InfraRed. After i took the battery out and put it back in, all thouse
settings had
reset back to the original order. And in the original order the sound didn't
work.
So every time i swap batteries, i'll have to reconfigure all the hardware
settings.
Although someone emailed me and told me that hibernation will hold my
hardware settings. I havent tested this yet, but i'll give it a try some
time soon.
And i specificly need the cdrom because i have a lot of data zipped in many
CD's
which i use to do what i need.
