The OS has to be loaded from disk. The Route 66 folks can set you up 
with a new one if necessary, but you may not have to. Can you load 
sounds into the machine from the disk? If so, it's just that your OS 
disks are damaged and you need to create a new one. If you can't load 
anything at all, it probably *is* your disk drive, and you'll need to 
talk to Route 66 about a new one.

Try loading the sounds first from a diskette. If that doesn't work, you 
should be able to use one or another of the methods posted here to get 
a working OS disk again.
