[comp.sys.mac.misc] SE boot problem

tph@cs.utexas.edu (Pow-Hwee Tan) (11/15/90)

Greetings,

I have an SE with Apple's internal HD20 which exhibits the following
boot problem:

1.  The light on the drive will blink for a while on startup but then
goes off and the system does not boot.

2.  After inserting a floppy disk with no system folder in it, the SE
will eject the disk and boot happily off the hard disk.


Can anyone tell me what is the problem here?  And what are the possible
remedies before I send it to the repair shop?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
