[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1414345, member: 40142"] I have done this sort of thing and it is a real hassle getting an OS transfered from a modern machine to an age old macintosh. Your dealing with incompatible file systems and incompatible hardware. My oen SE 30 seems to have been broken, otherwise I would attempt to copy the install disks You need to format an old scsi drive on a mac like a classic or SE, connect it to a more modern mac like a g3 or G4 and copy the install disk images onto it and connect back to the SE. Unfortunately I dont have the old scsi drive I had, I must have chucked it out - you basically need a transfer mac that can bridge the gap between non internet old macs and modern macs, a tricky situation. So, you need a vintage SCSI hard drive first - an external before you can even start transferring stuff across [/QUOTE]
