I purchased a 160 meg hard drive for an old mac SE, it was supposed to be pre loaded with system 7.5 but it won't read it. I downloaded the system from apple, but when ever I try to put it on a diskette using a new Mac, the new mac writes on it and does not leave enough room.
I found a way to get it on a mac formatted disk. I copy the fil on an IBM fromated disk, then copy it in to the hard drive of anohter SE that already has system 7.5 and then back in to a Mac formated disk. Is there any esier way? Is taking for ever and it does not seem like it is going to read the new disketes. Second if I have to get system 7 on it first to get it to run the disketes from 7.5, how do a get it in. The file that apple has is 4megs and I can't put it on diskets, any ideas. In ohter words how do I get an operating systme on a Mac with a hard drive that does not have one. Is there somewhere where I can download a boot disk? Any ideas on how to get the sytem in. I'm lost any help will be apreciated.
