PowerMac 7100/80 won't install OS 8.1 or 8.5. HD formats OK. Mac OS installer hangs. Another 7100/80 - same problem. Any suggestions?
I've heard you have to install the OS while the HD is in another, newer machine. Then you can put the HD back in the 7100, and should run fine.
AFAIK that only applies to installing OS 9 or 9.1 on a NuBus PowerMac. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
