It's probably a problem with the hard disk. Ask one of your friends to
make up a Norton Disk Doctor Startup Disk. You may even be able to fix
the disk without reinstalling the system.

The Mac IIcx can run System 6, though you'll probably want to reinstall
System 7.1 or 7.5, depending on how much RAM you have. AFAIK System 7.1
is available for free download from the Apple FTP site.
