Hi folks, I've recently inherited a Powerbook 500 which has a sickly System folder, and is in need of a fresh install. It also has a PowerPC 603e upgrade inside it, so can't take very early versions of System 7.
My question is pretty simple, but I'm hitting my head against a wall. I have a G5 Power Mac running Panther, and I also have a USB floppy drive. How on earth do I create a boot floppy (for say 7.5.3 or 8.1 - I've found disk images courtesy of Gamba) in OS X? Disk Utility doesn't want to write to my floppies. It will happily erase them, but refuses to write disk images to them. Disk Copy 6.3.3 has the "Create Floppy" option greyed out (guess it can't see my USB drive). Surely there must be a way to do this in OS X? Please? Anybody? paulos -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
