Hi, I solved the problem last night. :-) I took an external HDD that I had, copied it all onto the internal HDD on the IIci and then performed a clean install of Mac OS 7.6.1 onto it. I was then reading the pickles FAQ and found that key combo that forces the mac to boot of a different disc. I set it's SCSI to 3 (CC has no CD and my external CD SCSI ID can be changed) and told it to boot off that. It worked. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with the original system folder but I deleted it and replaced it with a copy of the one on my external HDD. It works now and is happy.
Now I can move onto fixing my LC475. :-) Anyone know why my SE won't boot of my OS 6.0.8 Floppy? I'l just do the "Boot from other SCSI drive" trick until i get a torx screwdriver long enough to open it and install the HDD. All is good :-) Dan _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
