micro PDP-11 "Fatal RSTS/E system initialization error!"

I powered my micro PDP-11 up for the first time, today. Here's what happens (please keep in mind I have no manuals or familiarity with the PDP-11): Memory Test Message: "Booting from DU0" Message: "Device XK0: does not interrupt - device disabled" Message: "RSTS v8.0-07 Micro/RSTS (DU0) INIT v8.0-07" "Option" prompt. At the "Option" promt, I typed "Help", bringing up a list of options. {To actually begin "using" the computer, am I correct in assuming I want to select the option "Start" to start timesharing?} At the "Option" prompt, I typed "Start". Here's what the screen looks like, afterwards: Option: START Disk is being rebuilt - wait... DU0 error UDASA P.OPCD P.STS P.BCNT P.BUFF P.BUF2 P.LBN 000000 000242 020006 000000 044000 000000 000001 Unrecoverable disk error on DU0 PC=121232 PS=030341 OV=000022 M5=001600 M6=003242 SP=041274 R0=000000 R1=077777 R2=042125 R3=172150 R4=041410 R5=140026 Fatal RSTS/E system initialization error! Option: -------End. Now to me, this sounds like a bad hard drive, but I'm not at all familiar with this. If somebody could offer their opinion as to what's wrong here (and what to do about it) I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!
