I was never baller enough to have an Amstrad with an HD so my memory is incomplete too.
@nickvonfiction if you boot with nothing in the floppy drive do you get the same message?

The 1640 used 5 1/4" disks--it was a PC rather than one from the 464, 664, 6128 series.
I can't remember whether it only booted from floppy disks.

AFAIR there was a recess for batteries on the top of the case that you plonked the monitor on.
