RTC mode fixed. Time of day clock stopped

I had unplugged my Inspiron 8000 (Windows ME,without battery) for a week. Now when I turn the power on, the following message appears on a blank screen:
"RTC mode fixed - Time and date may be wrong.
Time0of-day clock stopped."
I would appreciate if someone tells me what this message means. Is there anyway to restart the computer and recover my files on hard drive.
Thanks. John
