7.5.3 Install no hard disk?
I'm running SS in Windows 11, and the CD for 7.5.3 (Performa 6400...) from Macintosh Garden boots fine. When I choose "Restore All Software" the app can't find any hard drives to install to. I've created first a 750MB file, and then a 1250MB file, that are listed as "Internal Floppy Drive" by Disk First Aid (DFA) and are not recognized in Disk Set-up. How do I get the running System 7 to see the drive as a Hard Drive?

Re: 7.5.3 Install no hard disk?
Did you have the new disks initialized at startup and do they appear on the SheepShaver desktop?
SheepShaver cannot see disk images as hard disks, it will always see them as (large) floppy disks. Disk Setup cannot see them. (On a real Mac, Disk Setup can only see true hard drives on a SCSI connection.)
Apparently you use a software restore disk, not a System install disk. I did use a software restore disk once in SheepShaver. Not sure if this will work with any restore disk. Better find an install disk.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm up and running SS.
