If I shut the machine down normally, but leave the power connected, it reboots fine, without errors.
When I first got the machine, I was having problems with the clock resetting itself as well, so I replaced the battery, and that went away. So any ideas on what is changing when power is removed" It sounds more like pram corruption than a HD issue. Did you zap the pram after youinstalled the new battery? Hold down Command -option-P-R keys at startup, and let the machine blink twice before releasing those keys. Remember to reset your mouse speed after doing so.
