No. It is not possible to boot the Lombard with an OS that does not support HFS+, especially since the Lombard is "New World." OS 8.1 is the minimum New World OS, but Lombards can't boot OS 8.1 anyway. However, it IS possible that this is a 3rd party hard disk that the installer/Drive Setup may not like. Try running Drive Setup and re-installing (updating) the disk driver. Personally, I think TechTool is trash. It's a "nifty" utility, but it doesn't really do anything that other utilities don't do better.
