Performa 575 software restore on bluescsi

Hi all, I have the system restore CD for the performa 500 series computers that I am trying to use on an internal bluescsi, in other words, restore the 575 system onto a blank SD card on the bluescsi. To do this, I boot from the internal CD drive, and I get the performa CD coming up, however, the icon for the blank SD card does not show up unless I go to disk first aid, where it shows up and then comes up on the desktop. I have used HD setup to initialize and check the SD bluescsi, and that checks out fine. However, when I use the installer for installing the performa software on the CD, it says "there is no internal HD". Any ideas of what is going on here? Thanks!

OK, figured this weird problem out. If the 575 CD is in, the computer boots from that, once I removed the CD, the computer now boots from the bluescsi fine. Could never get the software from the CD to install, so hand moved the files over to the Bscsi and it works fine now. Thanks!
