Hello, So, would it not work if I were to just transfer all the files to the Mac HD and run them from there? How would I format the HD?
thanks much Patrick -----Original Message----- From: PowerBooks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Manfred Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 8:14 AM To: PowerBooks Subject: Re: Formatting and fresh install of 7.5.3 on a PB180 Hi, what you obtained from Apple are diskimages for floppies. With Diskcopy you can make a set of installation floppies out of them. I am not sure if there is something on PC that can do this, if not you have to transfer them somehow onto the PB180 and then generate the installation floppies there. It might be better to format first the hd before you install 7.5.3. > I recently picked up a PB180 and wanted to wipe the HD and do a fresh > install of OS 7.5.3 (which I picked up on Apple's site) - It has 7.1.x now. > > But the thing is, I looked around and couldn't find out exactly how to do > this and as a PC user, I'm new to Mac's.
