pb165 with a very very basic os 7 ( the network one that fits on a floppy)
an 80 meg ext hd that has 7.5.5, but when I try to copy it to the PB, I get a disk error. I think this drive needs to be reformatted and fixed, but not sure..
a regular scsi adapter (no dock option)
and an xp box and ibook with internet access (no floppy for the ibook)
oh, and a lc 575 with system 8.0, and no internet access....
somewhere on the pc I have a copy of system 7.5.3, but no way to get it onto mac disks...

ok, I screwed up my powerbook, and now I need to reinstall from scratch, but I cant seem to find a way to get any of the downloaded versions of os 7.5.3 to install, it keeps rejecting them.... what am I doing wrong?
More info ... ?? Simple review ... steps to *screw-up*
What have you got to work w/ ??
Have you got a SCSI dock adapter ? A Desktop Mac (9.1 or older seems to work easiest) to SCSI cable to ?
An external SCSI HD ?
Any DiskTools *1* from 7.1 thru 7.6.1 on floppy disk ?
Any Utilities on another machine or Floppy ? Like TechTool, FWB HD Toolkit, Mt Everything ... ?
