Power Macintosh: Bad Disk 3 Image on Install Me First CD (6/95)


I am using the Apple Macintosh CD SSW version 7.5, CD version 2.0. I have made a set of disks from the disk images on the CD-ROM. However, I cannot successfully get these disks to install System 7.5 on my Macintosh. Every time it reaches the Install 3 disk, the installation fails. If I run the installation from the CD-ROM, it works properly. How do I make a set of functional disks?

Thank you for your questions about the System 7.5 disk images on version 2.0 of the Power Macintosh CD-ROM. A minor problem was identified with one of the "Disk 3" images on the Power Macintosh CD-ROM. This disk image should be fixed in the next release of this CD-ROM.

Fortunately, there is another Disk 3 image on that CD, which you can use to make a working "Install Disk 3".

Step 1
------
Insert the Power Macintosh CD, and open the "Disk Images" folder.


Step 2
------
Open the "System Software" folder. Scroll the window to the bottom.


Step 3
------
Two new folders appear, called "Disk Set 1", and "Disk Set 2". The corrupt "Install Disk 3.image" file is in the Disk Set 2 folder.


Step 4
------
Open the "Disk Set 1" folder.


Step 5
------

Make a new floppy disk from the "Install Disk 3.image" file in this folder.

As an alternative, you can also run the system software installation directly from the CD-ROM. This installation can be found in the "System Software Install" folder.
