I was assured that they were from a 7500 or 7600. > you have 24 mb of ram total ? Can you do I clean isntall of either 8.1 or 7.6 ? I cannot reinstall 7.6 because I do not have the disks. I do have 7.6.1 and was going to try and reinstall that. I'm guessing that the system files are corrupted. Would that affect the ability of the floppys to format? I'm thinking yes.
