Hi all. I have a Performa 636 who's hard disk failed (finally). It had OS 7.5.3 on it. I replaced it with the smallest IDE drive I had - a 13 GB Quantum Fireball, but OS 7.5.x wouldn't initialize the drive successfully.
I just received a copy of MacOS 8.1, and I booted the CD and initialized the drive and installed 8.1 onto a single standard 13 GB partition (the notes on the CD say that 68k based Mac's can't start from a HFS+ partition). When I remove the CD and reboot, I get a ? Mac - it can't find anything to boot from. Does anybody have any ideas what I am doing wrong, or can point me in the direction of what to do?
