Newbie with Mac Classic issues

Hi there! I'm new here. Don't hurt me!

I've been a Mac fan since I was little, but generally use PCs home because I also really like puttering around with hardware, and find that a lot more comfortable with PCs. They're also a lot more common in most of my work/school environments. I hope nobody here will hold that against me.

Anyway, here's my problem - I'm not even sure anyone can help me out.

By some strange series of coincidences, I am now the proud(?) owner of an ancient Macintosh Classic, which is running System 6.0.7. However, nearly everything seems to be missing. Whenever I try to open anything in the System Folder, I get an error with a big hand and "The file (whatever) could not be opened/printed (the application is busy or missing". I have a feeling the previous owner just tried to delete everything on the HD...

I know people will probably tell me just to throw the poor thing out, but I'd really like to be able to see if I can get it working, if only for the challenge. But I have no clue where to start. I can't get it on the internet, it's got a low-capacity floppy drive, and a SCSI port in the back, which I've yet to test out (but will soon)

I got a fresh new copy of System 6.0.7 from Apple, and after dinner I'm going to see if I can get the scsi to work and detect my Zip drive, but who knows.

I also don't know what to do if/when I manage to get the 4 .bin files onto the Mac - would I reformat first, and if so, how do I go about doing that?

I hope I don't come across like a total dimwit, but this is my first time dealing with such old hardware. >.<'' This machine's nearly as old as I am!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out

 

Oh, thank you

I just found it odd that there were things in the System folder, but I got that message when I tried to open them.

Geez, I feel like a twit now. But it's good to know there's nothing wrong!
