> Can I make a boot disk or similar from this CD? You can download a boot disc from this site that will fit on a floppy or two depending on the version: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/bootdisks.html Your best bet, if you have a full CD version of OS 7.6, 8.0, or 8.5, is to look in your CD and find the folder for creating boot discs on a floppy. A full OS version CD itself can be used to boot up you computer and is the desired method. Once mounted you can do clean installs, full installs, and format hard drives. With the computer on, place the CD in the CD-ROM drive, do a restart and hold down the 'C' key until you see the apple logo.... > Where can I find instructions on what to do? (Once I get access to a working > Mac. I presume I ask for a bootdisk and then boot my Star Max with the CD?) See above. The Mac is not like the PC, which asks if you want to create a DOS boot disk. If you can't boot up from a full version CD via the CD-ROM, a floppy booter will allow you to boot up and then install from the CD, providing, of course, that your CD-ROM functions. > This Star Max is my first mac, so please forgive my ignorance. A lot of us have been there.......The above assumes that you have one of the full version CDs mentioned and/or that you have access to the 'net. to download booters. Hang in there, this list will get you going.
