First of all: Are you getting a disk icon with a ? -question mark?

Try this first: Zap the PRAM. Hold down Command-Option-Shit-P-R This will Zap the Parameter RAM. If it still does not start up, then you definately need a boot disk with Disk First Aid.

Try to contact a local Mac user's group. It is likely that someone will have or be able to make a boot-up disk for you. I am sure someone will be willing to help you.

Norton Utilities for Mac (the version for system 7, anyways)acts as a boot disk & can often repair the hard drive.
Most Mac users have an NU disk laying around - it may solve all your problems.

The quatra 650 can go up to 7.6 os. If you can get email on a mac let me know. I have os boot disks all the way back to 6.0. I can send you a disk image file.
