The last time I used a Powerbook 170 I was still using system 7.1, so try to bear with
me. I'm not sure of the background on your PB, but it sounds like you HD was either
wiped or your sytem folder was damaged. What you need to boot it up is a Disk Tools
disk, which should be clearly labelled. If there system is wiped, then you may want
to run the Disk Tools disk and reformat, unless of course there is still info on it
that you want. Then You'll need a several disk set of the system you've decided to
run on your PB. Most of it is pretty straight forward and self explanitory. Just
insert the disk, boot up and follow the directions on screen.

Hi all, I have a power book170 and I think all the bios is eraced. The
screen is blank except for a floppy in the center. I instalition disk 2. I
am not shure if this is what I need to boot it up. I would gladly pay
postage ect. for copies of the disk that I need. It just
spits out the disk
I have. Thanks for your reply. James
