I recently acquired 2 color classics on CL and while I can boot them from an external CD drive, format the HD with drive setup 1.7.3 and install the OS, 7.1, 7.5, 7.5.3 or 7.6.1, I can not get them to then boot the internal HD after the install is over. I replaced the PRAM battery, made sure to set the startup disk in the control panel before rebooting and still no boot. I have tried the command/option/shift/delete/SCSI id at boot to no avail as well as holding down d. I know the HDs are not apple but they were booting up fine before I decided to wipe them and reinstall. Any help is great appreciated.

One HD is:

IBM: WDS-3200 216MB

and the other is:

IBM: DCAS-32160

Thanks,
