I sure hope one of you can help me.  I've tried to install system 7 and 
can't get it to boot.  
System: Mac Classic 4M w/ APS 105 MB hard drive.
Problem: Installer says "install complete, you must reboot to use your
new software".  So I do, and I get a happy Mac, then the white bar appears
accross the top (no menu headings) and the drive select light comes on and
the stopwatch never goes away.
I've tried to reinstall with a very minimal system, but it still fails the
same way.
Is it possible some of my install disks are bad? I had to replace 2 of the
five disks because Install said they were bad (Install 2 and Tidbits). The
other 3 seem to do their proper tasks w/out error.
Am I installing right?  I run the install from Finder using my current
system (6.0.7).
Anybody seen this? Any help greatly appreciated. I've had the disks since
Monday, but with the bad disks and now this, here it is Thursday at 2am and
I still don't have System 7.0.  Should I just give up?
