  Looks like you are missing the OS,  not sure of how to get it on a 800K disk 
to install it on your hard drive.Your HD is probably bad otherwise it would 
boot from it, you can get a hard drive with system 6 on e-bay (I've seen them 
go for pretty cheap, a 20 or 40 mb)

  Hope this helps

    Hi everybody,

    this is my first e-mail to this e-mail list. Here is the reason.

    Recently, I was able to get a Macintosh SE that was ready to be
    disposed. I was in love with the little one so I took it home.

    I cleaned it, opened it and un-dusted it.

    This is what I know so far:

    It has 1MB RAM, one 800 K drive and a 20SC hard disk. The keyboard and
    mouse are original.

    I turned it on and the speakers worked, the screen turned on, and the
    mouse worked. The monitor shows the disk drawing with the question
    mark blinking.

    I'm not an expert in computers but I would like to explore the
    possibility of fixing it.

    Any suggestions on where should I start?

    Thanks
