yea its terminated. the computer was making some pretty darned loud high pitched "squeek" sound that was ear peircing. then it would quit. This would fade in/out a few seconds to a…

Dont know why though. that sucks becuase the drive inside is a quantum 800mb. Click to expand... (a) termination? ( B) low-level format?

any ideas? Click to expand... First I assume you are selecting HFS not HFS+. You also have to make sure the partition map is legacy as well. In Toast there is a tick-box which …

Well, i dug out my old miniscribe drive which i was able to hook in place of the CDrom and to start up the machine. i fixed the system folder on the internal drive which caused it…

Get your boot floppies here. Always good to have one handy with a classic Mac.

If you really want, I can send over copies of System 6.0.4/6.0.8/7.1/7.5 boot disks to you. You only really need a bootable system disk with the Apple CD-ROM driver.
