Hi all.

First of all, let me appologise for the antique hardware for which i need help. It's my old performa 6214CD that I found when i was packing stuff for my new home.

It used to have macos 9.5. Now the IDE disk doesn't spin up, it's DEAD.

I replaced it with a used quantum fireball that is working. Obviosly it doesnt boot (the disk if from a PC !).

I've been goggling the net to make a bootdisk (as I can't find them). With basilisk I made disks with the "Network Access Disk" and the "Disk tools PPC" and both gave the same result: "This disk will not boot this system. You need to upgrade with the Installer" and something about the disks beeing from mac Os 7.1.

How can I make this work ?

Thank you for all your help, i'm very frustated and desperate with this.

Thank you again.
Cesar
