It sounds like the installer crashed before completing the installation. Therefore installed system is corrupted. If you don't have a boot floppy then I don't know what to tell you. If you do, then boot from it and trash the HD system folder and copy the floppy system folder over to the hard drive. Disk First Aid on that boot floppy would be a good idea, to run it on the HD before trying next system installer. Gamba -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
