I managed to save a working LC 575 and an LC 580 from my grandma's school. They work fine, but I want to install a clean copy of System 7.5.3 that I found on the Apple website. I thought this process would be a simple one, but I've run into countless roadblocks being the inexperienced mac user I am.
The LC 575 runs System 7.5.1 and the LC 580 runs System 7.5
The only computer I have that has access to the internet right now runs Windows XP.
Neither of the Macs have Stuffit Expander and I have no clue how to get it on there. When I got the computers I got just that. The computers, power cables, keyboards, and mice. No disks or anything.
On a side note, the LC 575 has just recently began giving me problems with the hard drive. It will boot normally, but when I try to explore the hard drive, it displays a blank bomb message and locks up xx( If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it. I've grown up with these Macs but I never got to do serious work on them until now since they were in the school's possession. Anything that I can learn about these two computers would be appreciated. Thank you.
