If you haven't already, I'd check that earliest system usable on
the C500. It's possible that it needs 7.5.5 at minimum or
something even more recent. Kennedy's site probably has that info.
Another possibility is if you have a G3 upgrade installed it could
be confusing the installer. If that's the case, try putting the
original 603 processor back in.
Sorry I am late in reading this. Our c600 shipped with 7.6.1.
Hotmail, did you find and install an Apple CD drive, or are you
trying to use the original one that came with the UMAX. Early
versions of the OS would not install using the stock UMAX CD drive.
You needed something like FWB's CD-ROM Tool Kit to get the machine to
boot from an Apple software install CD.
You might also need to launch Drive Set Up (should be in the
Utilities Folder) and format the Hard Drive so it is recognizable.
