I've had the circle-slash thing times-a-plenty with my Lombard. Is the HD a Toshiba? If so, try formatting it as Mac OS Extended, but not journaled.
I can't tell you how many problems I've had with Jaguar and that freaking sign. It all stopped once I formatted my drive as non-journaled.

About the battery, try loading OS 9 on the machine and running the battery reset utility from Apple's website. That utility has brought a battery back to life for me once before.

Nice score; I loved my Lombard when I was using it. Ever since I got my PowerBook G4, it's been sitting under my table, but I take it out every now and then.

The HD is an IBM. Is there any way to run the Battery utility on OS X? Is there a version for OS X?

I'll try that for the HD, thanks!
