Re: booting from CDROM

[Kyle DePasquale]

Hmm.... is anyone else having trouble opening up the disc image?  I  
have tried it on my mac in both classic and OS X mode.  I've also tried  
opening it with mac os X disc copy and with disc copy 6.3 It just gives  
me an error code (code -199) and it says that the Mount Image operation  
did not complete.  Any thoughts to why this might be happening???

Thanks,
Kyle

What goes opps? :)

Well, the bit of info Gregg left out may have been this
<http://web.archive.org/web/20020620094428/http:// 
www.graphixmad.plus.com/mac_troubleshooter/downloads/System7.5.3- 
CD.img.bin>

http://web.archive.org is a very handy place when searching for a site  
or download from a site that no longer exists on the web but which you  
have a link for. Better than google for alot of stuff, you still need  
google ect to find the dead links. ;)

The file is a diskcopy image containing a rather large system folder,  
stuffit 5.5 and the bog standard 7.5.3 apple disktools.
http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/hd.html will supply you with more  
tools which you can load from the floppy or add to the image to use  
once the cd has booted the machine.

The selection of bootdisks available at gambas site are small enough
http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/bootdisks.html to compare the  
different versions of system tools. The image uses System B1-7.5.3

I use the 7.5 and 7.6 Disk tools a bit. I'm happy to post them as they  
zip down very well and can be inflated on either nix or doze and then  
used in the mac to boot.

Cheers
