When my AERO 4/25 starts up, it runs one test (8192KB OK)at the top of the screen only (is that usual?). After that it comes up with the message:

Non-system disk or disk error
replace and strike any key when ready

The hard-drive seems to work, I can hear it on the one test it dose.

But here's the problem, I don't have an external floppy drive And might not be able to install unless the computer is Runing. so i cant use a boot disk. (is that true?) theirs nothing in the PCMCIA slot and F10 Doesn'twork. the only way I can see is if their is a PCMCIA boot card. Can you help me?
