I can't help you ther. I've never used images of the apple site. I have
the OS cd's and disks.

Hey! I just realized that there's an adapter attachment stuck on the 
end of the internal hard drives that make them fit -- I was able to 
replace the internal drive with the drive from one of my SCSI cases. I

think the old internal drive was toasted; this one starts right up, but

gives me the error message that there's no useable system there. Which

brings me here:

> Try booting from a floppy drive. The hard drive might be wiped.

That's where I'm having trouble. I don't have any old system floppies 
or anything. I've downloaded a 7.5.3 disk tools image from here:
ftp://ftp.umax.com/supermac/apple_files/disk_tools1.sea.hqx 

It's got Disk First Aid, Disk Setup, and a System Folder, but I can't 
seem to boot from it. Should I be able to?

Also, If I grab the 7.5.3 System images from Apple's site, is there a 
way I can install to this new HD without having to boot into
something?

Thanks!
