Unfortunately, you're in a catch-22. You can't boot directly from the CD like that; you need an actual boot floppy.

I'm beginning to really pull my hair out. ready to start smashing things. I am in a bit of a pickle. since no machine besides this SE/30 that i own has a floppy drive, i got issue…

hmm, It looked like a spam bot to me. If he was going to spam correctly he shouldve made a new thread

Shure thing! (btw Christopher can i have 600 bucks?)

Someone must bid on this! That's too cool to pass up.

I'm going to talk to the other mods, they may hold a different opinion...but I just find it quite suspicious that a member signs up, and has a link in his signature to a business l…

Never happened before, never had any complaints? Yeah it's not often a new (and deleted) user has a friend on the forum to bring it to your attention....if it was me and I got dele…

I reckon you guys (moderators) are just a little bit over zealous in cleaning up this forum. When it's getting to the point that a friend has to post question on behalf of another …

I bet it was another one of those "inteligent" spammers that reads other posts and assembals a post based on them,m and it had just read the Snow Leopard thread before spamming.

Ah, he had a link in his signature to an Indian data entry website. That screams spammer to me. Anyway, the post, and all related posts have been removed. Click to expand... I…

I have a Security panel on my 10.6 System Preferences. It's under the "personal" group and is represented by a picture of a house with what appears to be a safe lock on it. This is…

Apple doesn't provide a control panel called "Security". He probably needs to uninstall or update whatever 3rd party software it's part of.

Ah, he had a link in his signature to an Indian data entry website. That screams spammer to me. Anyway, the post, and all related posts have been removed.

Yeah, the Cadillac...very neat concept that never quite made it. I wonder if this one actually has the real Newton OS? The only other one I've ever seen photos of had a very barebo…

This question was posted in the software forum in a thread about System 7.0.1. Some have accused Mr. Thomas of being a spammer, although I am under the impression that he is simply…

The DIPs are historical artifacts. Until the early or mid 1990s, most monitors used a fixed frequency. For all intents and purposes, this meant that a monitor ran at particular h…

WOW!!! 8-o That's cool - Newton Bic. Nice find!

Look at this Ebay auction! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220477983782 I couldn't believe this when I saw it. I think the price might be a bit high t…

You can adjust the adapter to work with different resolutions.

A DB-15 to VGA adaptor with DIP switches! I'll keep this one in NJ and my other non DIPPED one in NY . Is there any advantages to having DIPs?

OK, it does sound like the drive has a problem. Do you have a cleaning disk? Do you have a working external floppy drive or one you can borrow to test the motherboard interface? Do…

It is Macintosh Classic II with an 80 MB HD, 4 MB of RAM and with the Connectix RAM Doubler installed. The hard drive functions just fine and has a fresh install of OS 7.5 on a die…

Although the drive may very well need to be cleaned, there hasn't been nearly enough troubleshooting to establish whether a dirty drive is his problem. Indeed, it might be argued t…

As I said in my first reply to this thread, I've found that 3-in-1 multipurpose oil or silicone grease work well. WD-40 is not a lubricant, and won't last long at all. White lithiu…

I guess we still need more information. What model is your Mac? Is there a (working) hard drive, properly formatted with a valid system installed? If there is no boot volume, then …
