| Bootable System 7 Disk from USB Floppy Drive? I have System 7 disk image files downloaded from Apple's site, a G5 running Tiger, a LaCie USB floppy drive, and a G3 (broken internal floppy drive) running Mac OS 9. I tried running Disk Copy on the G3 and using the Make a Floppy... command, but, even though the floppy in the USB-based drive mounts in the Finder, Disk Copy continues to wait for something to happen with the internal drive and ignores the USB drive. I tried running Disk Copy on the G5 under Classic, but the Make a Floppy... command is greyed out. I tried cloning the disk images to floppies using Disk Utility under Tiger, but this consistently fails due to a permission error or some such. Any ideas?  |

| disconnect the intrenal floppy on the g3 and try it again. or try using disk utility with os x on the g5. besides, if i remember right, they are not true floppy images, they are a cd broken up into small chucks, that may fit on a floppy, so that it was easyer to download over a slow connection. but that was for system 7.3.5
