When I try to start it up, it has a gray screen with a fpicture of a floppy disk and a flashing question mark on the disk. It will not let me click on it anywhere. Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can fix it? I do not have a boot up disk for it. Does anyone know where I can get one? Plus, what kind of OS's are used on a Mac? I, obviously, am used to Windows on an IBM-compatible.	Cyndidd (8572)

374150	2005-07-22 02:30:00	Does an LC575 have a CD drive? SCSI CD drives are around, but ... does an LC575 know how to boot from one? I once downloaded the 6 (or so) floppy set images for an early version, but I forgot how I actually created the floppies. Probably I had a working Mac. ;) They were in a mirror site, but that site has been reorganised, and I can;'t see the files there now.	Graham L (2)
