I literally followed the instructions you sent from the EarthLink site. I had my 7.1 system file backed up so I moved it back to the boot partition and went from there... They mentioned booting from 7.0.1 Disk Tools to perform the modifications with ResEdit, but I was still successful booting...

Fingers crossed...

Great, I've read the webpage and downloaded the pertinent files. Rolling up my sleeves to work with ResEdit, huh? I'll let you know how it goes... :) mdent23

P.S. is the ROM-inator II considered a IIsi / IIfx ROM?

There was no 32-bit system enabler file to delete. The link you shared appears very comprehensive so I'll take a look, give it a shot and post here with updates.

Ah, this might be it!! Luckily I backed up the System folder after installing 7.5.5 (even though it wouldn't boot); I'll look for this file, delete it, and move the whole enchilada back to my boot partition. Fingers crossed... Will let you both know how this turns out.

I'll give this a shot and let you know. Thanks for your continued assistance, BadGoldEagle :D

UPDATE: So, I'm still scratching my head... I decided to start from scratch this past weekend. Process: I backed up some apps and documents to my "FreeSpace" partition, erased "Macintosh HD" and installed 6.0.8 from floppy. [From here is where I started using the installers you provided...

Thank you, tanaquil. I'll try moving the installers to my "FreeSpace" partition to install onto the "Macintosh HD" (boot) partition. If this still doesn't work, I will use BadGoldEagle's provided links to the installers. Will keep you both posted with results. //mdent23

P.S. Moving the system folder back and forth curiously reversed my install of Tune-Up, however I still had the image in Macintosh HD so I reinstalled, "About this Macintosh..." showed a bullet after 7.0.1 so I was sure it was successful. But yes, I did have to reinstall it.

Thank you; the CF is easy to access and I have a USB reader for my TiBook; I will load the installers you provided that way. Just to clarify, should I store the installers on a partition separate from my boot partition? Or does this even matter? I will also make sure to back up my 7.0.1 files...

It WORKED! Well, kind of. Moving the system folder back and forth allowed me to boot to a desktop again, however about this Macintosh revealed it is still running 7.0.1, so neither install worked. Should I move the installers for 7.5.3 and 7.5.5 to a separate partition before installing...

I'll give it a shot when I'm back at the desk. Thank you. //mdent23

It ain't over 'til it's over I guess. Now I'm having issues with 7.5.3 / 7.5.5 (stuck at "Welcome to Macintosh") which I detail in the most recent thread in this section. Hope you and the others can help :( //mdent23

Hello all, This SE/30 I've been been working seems to just present one hurdle after another. Thanks to BadGoldEagle I was able to patch my install of 7.0.1 with System 7 Tune-Up 1.1.1. Following this, I put all the install images from 7.5.3 and 7.5.5 onto my primary storage device (I'm using...

This was the ticket, BadGoldEagle!! DC6 handled the TuneUp image just fine and running the installer was a breeze; I shaved three whole seconds off startup time and now I can continue updating to 7.5.5 :D Thanks a million! //mdent23

PM'd you my address info, olePigeon; looking forward to receiving the bezel! Thanks again :D //mdent23

Would you happen to have an image file or the actual application file of Disk Copy 6 that I could get onto my TiBook to load onto a floppy? Having a hard time finding a workable DC6 file. My SE/30 no-likey.

Very cool, though thanks to olePigeon I am expecting a new front bezel now which I will chemically treat to remove any yellowing and get the color match to the back rear case as close as possible. Will keep you all posted with results! // mdent23

olePigeon that would be amazing!! The seller treated the plastic to remove yellowing and gave me the recipe so I should have no problem matching it! Just let me know how I should send my info and we can talk details. Thank you -mdent23
