Actually Hardware breakdown of Mac SE

[El Supremo]

Dear netters!
A good friend of mine has mixed up my knowledge of how to use a macintosh 
with the knowledge of what makes it work, so he dumped a mac se in my lap.

The problem is as follows; The computer has a Apple HD20 and a 800k 
floppy drive and a SpeedCard. When booting the symbol with a disk and a 
question mark appears, and if you put in a systemdisk in the druve it 
dosen t help. I managed to start up the computer via an external 
diskdrive, the icon for the hard disk do not appear on the desktop, If 
you insert a disk in the internal diskdrive, you get the message that it 
is not formatted, if you let it try to formatt the disk you get message 
that the formatting failed.
When booting you can hear the hard disk starting and then stopping, so i 
opend the macine and looked, when you boot the motor start in one 
direction and then the other and then stops.

Any sugestions to solveing this problem is most welcome.
