I am running a 100mb HD that I have just put in myself. This HD was running system 7 but I trashed the system folder and booted from the install disk. When this didn't work (system error 41) I booted from disk tools and copied the system file over from disk tools (system 7.0.1) so I could boot up on the HD and try to install the OS with the HD as the startup volume, that is when it said that it had ran out of memory. >Where did the System 7 install disk come from?

I got the installers from Apples site as disk images, I then copied them all over to floppy. >Boot up with System 7 disk, look at the "About This Macintosh" from the >Apple pulldown menu, and determine if it is actually seeing all 4 MB of RAM >that you installed. Yes, that isone of the first things I looked at, all the memory is being recognised with the OS taking about 950kb. --- MacMail - the Webmail service especially for Mac users worldwide http://www.macmail.com -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
