Nancy, I've been able to install System 7.5.3 Rev. 2 using a Performa 6400 Series System/Software CD with many errors (damaged disk). It does have the original CD drive that came with it, and it does boot the Performa CD from it. I would like to reinstall System 7.5.3 using the installer due to many files missing from the hard drive. I don't know the rules on posting links, but I have some screenshots posted up on my forum, I could give you the link if it is allowed. Also, for some reason I can't use any CD unless the Performa CD was in the drive at system boot, and then I could remove that CD and insert another. In addition, it for some reason doesn't recognize Audio CDs. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Haitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "SuperMacs List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 10:36 PM Subject: Re: [SM] c500 won't allow me to install sys 7.5.3
