No, as long as the power adapter is plugged in, the laptop will boot without the battery installed.

there is no way you must buy a usb adapter and boot like so so the pc will detect the hdd

this is not my fault if it doesnt work it works for most pc / desktops

BIOS reads the MBR.

A warm boot, accomplished by pressing the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination, restarts the computer through the INT19h ROM BIOS routine. This warm-boot procedure usually does not go through the complete boot process; generally, it skips the power-on self test (POST) to save time. In addition, a warm boot frequently fails to reset all adapters in the computer's adapter slots.

If you use the Reset button to cold boot the computer, it generally restarts the boot process, including the POST. However, this procedure does not necessarily discontinue power to the motherboard. If the power is not interrupted, the cold boot may fail to reset all adapters in the computer's adapter slots.

turn the handle counter clockwise and remove the leather boot, screw on a new one. if using an oem shift knob the boot probably will not snap back on, and you'll need some kind of adapter to match the threads, usually a plastic insert secured by a hex screw.
