The 6100 uses a differing file system than the IIsi. For best results you'll need to put the drive into the IIsi and format it, then add your operating system. You may have to steal the 6100's SCSI drive cable-set and forked power cable, hook the CD ROM to the IIsi with the lid off and place your CD in and using the 6100's CD ROM Extensions, add your OS that way.
