Chances are that the external CD-ROM SCSI case has a cable that plugs into the back of the CD drive that allows you to set the SCSI ID externally. Because this won't work on your hard drive, if you're planning on connecting it to your 1400 and doing the system install, make sure you change the hard drive's SCSI ID manually in the jumper settings.

With regards to the original problem, "officially" a type 10 error code indicates a run-time error or discrepancies in the software instruction set with your given hardware. The first thing I'd try is reseating all of your RAM and possibly CPU. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's possible that it implicates your overclocked CPU. But as a previous poster pointed out, best to make that a last resort thing to test. What I like to do is strip a machine down to a stock configuration then try the installation. Since, for example, the problem may lie in mishmatched or flaky RAM chips, and you should be able to install a base System 7.5 with only the 4 MB of on-board RAM.

A NAD system folder more than likely will not work copied over to a hard drive, much the same way that a system folder from a system CD is not bootable when copied to a hard drive. Have you tried completely initializing your hard drive and zapping the PRAM before running the installation on your LC? Or, if you decide to go the external case route and try to load the drive in the 1400 to eliminate the drive as the source of the problem, I suggest initializing it there before the installation.

Cheers,

Cody
