[QUOTE="ccellist, post: 118963"] Hi everyone. I recently got a Powerbook 1400cs working again only to find the OS is missing. So I have to install an OS. I tried to do 7.5.2, and 7.5.3, but the stupid installer keeps telling me the script found an unrecognized mac and therefore needs to quit. I copied the System Folder over from an OS 8 System tools disk so I know os 8 will work on it. The problem: I don't have a CD-ROM drive. I will probably get one eventually, but not right away. I need to install OS8 but there are no floppies available on the CD and no way to make them. Has anyone had this problem before? If so, how did you get around it? Is there a way to get 7.5.3 to install without giving me that strange error message? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
