Replacing the battery should fix all of those first few errors. I had to do this a few years ago. Write down all the info on the battery and I think you can still get them at Radio Shack or whatever your electronics store of choice is. Mine was a bit of a B to remove and replace so you may be in for a struggle.
You may want to try the above first before tackling the second problem as it will cure your computer's Alzheimers, as you know. After you do the usual connection checks, go to the BIOS and check all the stuff there, namely that you are booting from HDD. Beyond that, post back with any discoveries or progress you make!
