Powerbook 165 HD rename
Posted by: FlyingToaster on 2011-02-22 17:10:29
Hi, kinda new to the forum, hopefully someone can assist me. Just received an excellent shape PB 165 that boots to 7.1. I can't seem to find a boot disk that will work and my 7.1 installer disk gets spit out when I try to boot it. I want to rename the HD but the only way I know is by erasing it. Even if I do erase, I don't know what system disks this thing will boot from. Does anyone know something that this machine will accept? This is my first original powerbook, own 3 duos, a 7200 and an LC. This is acting a little different than the other ones.. :?:

Ugh, got it renamed, turned file sharing off. Duh. Sorry about making a dumb topic! But what about the system floppy disk compatibility?

I got mine to boot from a System 7.1 floppy with system enabler 131.

I can image that floppy for you if it can help.
