Big HD on LC II and MacOS 7.5
Posted by: silvercreekvalley on 2007-08-11 05:36:51
I'm trying to install MacOS 7.5 on a LC II and the disk seems to

be somewhat bigger than the regular Apple disk originally in the

box. Its a Maxtor 7120SR which I think is about 80MB.

When I try to install MacOS 7.5 from the original disks, its unable

to recognise the drive. I know this worked before on a LC II so

I'm guessing there is something I need to do first?

I do have another Mac (Mac Duo) which I could use if necessary

to set the disk up?

Thanks

Ian.

Chances are that the drive is not Apple OEM and you therefore need to use the patched HD SC Setup, or a third-party utility such as Silverlining.
