[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 881868, member: 56379"] Of course you don't have an OS on your Mac...it has no internal hard drive...so you can't have an OS on it. Since it only has a floppy drive...the OS needs to be on the floppy when you insert it. The floppy disk you're inserting probably doesn't have any OS files on it...so the computer cannot boot. You need an 800k floppy with a Mac OS on it...something like a version of Mac OS 6.0 to 7.5...but earlier versions will work as well. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
