| 508.8 | Need a System 7.1P3 Disk | UCXAXP::MYTH | M. T. Hollinger | Fri Feb 07 1997 13:33 | 23 |
A couple years ago, I bought my nephew a Performa 460 for his birthday.
I dutifully backed up the original contents of the hard drive onto
floppies, but I neglected to make a bootable diskette. Somehow, the
Utilities disk that was supposed to come with the system was left out.
So now, the hard drive has been corrupted, and the computer won't boot.
I can't boot it from a floppy, because I don't have one. I've gotten
copies of System 7.0.1 and System 7.1 from friends, but they won't work
on this model. Apparently, I need 7.1P3 or later. The system also has
a CD-ROM drive, so I could boot from a CD if I found a suitable one
(such as the Apple Restoration CD, but that's only available to Apple
service departments -- grr!).
I could download system software from the Apple web site, if I had a
working Macintosh to write the disk with, but I can't figure out how to
write a Mac-bootable disk with a PC. If the Mac was working, I
wouldn't need to do this in the first place -- a chicken and egg
problem.
Does any kind soul near LKG (Littleton, Mass.) have a copy of 7.1P3 (or
later) and feel inclined to help me out? Thanks in advance...

If your Performa can run system 7.5 (which I think it can), then I can give you a bootable floppy. It would be a very minimal system, because you need to strip the system down to fit it on a floppy. You could then swap floppies to run HD Setup or some other formatting utility (I doubt it would fit on the same floppy, but HD Setup might, and would work for you if you're sure the Performa has an Apple-branded hard drive in it). adam | |||||
| 508.10 | Try one of these disk images | UNIFIX::HARRIS | Juggling has its ups and downs | Fri Feb 07 1997 14:07 | 17 |
Try the
HUMANE::MAC$ROOT:[APPLE.TOOLS]APPLE_NETWORK_ACCESS_DISK_V7_5.STUFFIT
This should be a disk that will boot on almost any system and it
provides enough support to start AppleTalk so that a network backup
could be restored.
You could also just download the approprate Disk Tools image from
MacOnLine
HUMANE::MAC$ROOT:[APPLE.SYSTEM_SOFTWARE_V7_1]DISK_TOOLS.COMPACTOR
HUMANE::MAC$ROOT:[APPLE.SYSTEM_SOFTWARE_V7_5]DISK_TOOLS.COMPACTOR
And make a floppy out of that.
