getting system 7.5.3 on disk
hi i own a macintosh classic II its now running system 7.0.1 and i want to uppgrade to 7.5.3 i downloaded the system from this adress: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.5_Version_7.5.3/ on my PC windows xp. then i used Macdisc to get the .smi.bin files on my mac formated disk. when i open the file on my macintosh classic it said that it cant run without part 2, 3, 4, and so on till 19... so, my guess is that you would have to put all the 19 files on the macintosh hardrive and then open them? how does the insallation of a system work? ive never worked with macintosh before, does it take care of the old system? and is there a way to get the into original system 7.5.3 disks? |

Re: getting system 7.5.3 on disk
Yes unfortuntly you have to download all the parts. That's how it worked in those days, you had to have every individual disk to install one thing. Pretty crazy huh! To answer the question about how installing works, well since your going to have to get all 19 parts, to clean your whole HD clean, (I replace mine w/ empty HD's for installation) but just wipe it clean by deleting all files except the system folder, (which your going to need) It will give you the license agreement stuff etc, etc. Then after you've done all 19 parts, your ready!! And for the where-to-get-to 7.5.3 disks, well they are hard to open unless you have stuffit expander on your computer. Were you referring to opening the disks, or getting/finding the actual disks? Good Luck:) P.S Not being a Mac user is sort of a excuse, their REALLY easy to use once you sit down and fiddle with them, I think they are User Friendly! |
