The battery isn't compatible with your machine / bios version.

Is this something I can fix or change in the bios?  The battery was recognized 
for the first 6 months I had the machine.

I have the exact same issue and I am wondering if reflashing the bios will fix 
it. I'd rather that netbook-installer tok care of it somehow though. Any leads 
or thoughts appreciated.

I called Dell and they sent me a replacement battery.
The problem was fixed, most likely a defect.
