Classic hard drive issue..

Sold a completely recapped classic on ebay. Buyer received it but didn’t boot all the way. It gave this error. Looks like an os issue. It is original hard drive.

Hold down Cmd+Opt+O+X while starting up.

Then if they just want to get it booting, rename the existing System Folder on the hard disk, copy the one from the ROM disk onto the Hard Disk, open the new System Folder, click on the finder, confirm the System Folder has a smiley face, restart normally.

Or do the above and just copy the Finder from the ROM disk to the HD System Folder if it has System 6 (which it appears from that message) if you want.

I was being careful in case they were significantly different versions.
