I recently acquired a Macintosh SE which has 4MB of RAM, a SuperDrive, and an unknown capacity HD. It boots up to System 6.0.7 but I can't make any chances to it because I am told various things are locked (such as the Control Panel). I can't drag files around to delete anything (or, for that matter, move anything).
When I boot the system there is a lock extension which appears, it's initially unlocked and then closes before the next extension loads. I assume this means that some locking method is being enabled. I thought I would remove this extension but when I look in the extensions folder I don't see anything (the same applies to the Control Panel folder).
I thought I would boot from floppy and wipe the drive using HD Setup. However it appears the floppy is bad. I do have an Apple 3.5" disk drive for my IIGS but the system doesn't want to boot from that drive (though it sees it when it's booted from the HD). The floppy disks I have are 800KB floppies and should work in either drive (the Mac floppy is a SuperDrive, the external 3.5" drive is 800KB).
I am unfamiliar with System 6.0 so any advice on how to proceed would be helpful.
