okay, to clarify, i have the system disks on theWhen you download mac files on a pc you loose the resource fork, to keep it simple the mac no longer knows what to open the file with. If you have downloaded files from apple they will be either .bin or .hqx, either way *if* the drives you have mounted have stuffit or macbinary installed you can drag the install file over to stuffit to unpack it to a diskimage, unpack all and run the install from fthe first disk on the desktop and install to a fresh hardfile (stuffit is requred, you can get away with macbinary if you are using .bin files).
emulator, but they wont read... i click them and they
say "cant read document" to paraphrase... so i am
guessing that they arent readable or they are corrupt,
since i expanded them both on pc and mac... but maybe
your previous email was explaining that this is ok,
and that i should just put them on the designated hard
disk and proceed. i thought an installation procedure
should occur, starting with opening up the install
disks by double clicking them... and to repeat i
double click these system 7.5.3 disks and they arent
opening any sort of install process!
If you send me the link for the hardfile your using to boot I will be able to see what your working with and better assist you.
