  I tried holding down the R key and a bunch of others with no effect. The
error message that I'm getting says "No System file". I'm afraid the hard

restore the system files without the external drive?

  I didn't notice a ring. They were cigarette size boxs and marked "Grid
120" and had a connector at one end.
