As I couldn't get into my Bios screen the other day I removed the CMOS battery. Now my PC will not start.?

When I turn the PC on (packard bell) it just stays on that screen and I cannot enter the bios or change the boot sequence. I don't have the XP home cd for load up. It looks to me more of a hardware problem but not sure how as like I said not added anything or removed anything apart from the battery and I placed that back, only wanted to reset the bios settings. Any ideas?As I couldn't get into my Bios screen the other day I removed the CMOS battery. Now my PC will not start.?
this may sound silly but make sure your mouse and keyboard are plugged in.. being an older computer packard bell.. it has to see the keyboard and mouse to start
