Just in case you don't know what your battery should look like it looks this and the part number may be 92P0986.

Plus just in case you would like more detail on how to do the CMOS battery here are 2 links http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-52603 and here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-52604

With the CMOS battery being bad it is possible that is why you are getting the hard drive error.

Please let us know how you make out, Mike
