Mike, I think you are looking for a 400K boot disk. Several members will make you one for free. I would do it, but I don't currently have any systems set up to make 400K boot disks. If you just want to be done with it, and not wait for someone to make you one, check out http://www.macbootdisk.com

No need to clean out the HDD. It's probably dead. As for the boot disks you will need a Mac with a Superdrive (because it reads and writes to 400k, 800k, and 1.4 MB floppies). You can pick one up from eBay or a garage sale or, I have a PowerBook 1400cs I can sell you that has a Superdrive. On Ja
