Hi Ugo, I am not exactly sure about this, but I believe that you can boot into the OS directly on the Classic via holding down command-option-o-x at startup. At least that will get you into the machince. If that works, try checking to see if it will look at your boot floppy and/or Hard drive.
Hope this helps, Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: "ugo gagne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 9:22 AM Subject: Boot Disk > Hello everyone > > i just go myself a brand new second hand Mac Classic. > Now, i've never used these before and i ask myself many questions but first: > how do i get it to boot!
