Making a Boot Floppy Disk?

[MacSE/30]

This is my first post here, so forgive me if I say something stupid.

I recently got an SE/30, which when turned on, gives me that floppy disk with the blinking question mark. How do I fix this? Keep in mind, I don't have another Mac to work with, only PC's. I tried to make a boot floppy, but I was just messing around really and could not fix it.

Cheers!

For an SE30 look for System 6 install discs. They will come as a set of white floppies or try and donload themn from Apple and copy to a set of seven, from memory, floppies:-

Which files on there would I need to put on 7 floppies?

Start at the top, and download right through to 7 of 7.

Thanks for the link Harry! I knew this stuff existed...but you saved me the time of finding it. I want to play around with some of my older Macs...and may need some older OS software.

If the SE 30 spits out the PC formated floppies, Hes going to have to preformat the floppies in Mac OS standard.

Maybe Mac formatted floppies are still available brand new?
