i've had nothing but bad luck trying to get my mac se/30 to accept and install to a hard drive. i recently aquired a mac branded 250mb hdd and installed it in my mac se/30. on booting the machine gets a black screen and a frowny mac icon. on attempting to install os 7.5 it sees the hdd and starts installation, it asks me to replace alot of files that are newer on the hdd and halfway through instillation it fails and asks me to try again. my thought is there is a higher OS on this hdd that is not compatibale with my se/30 and i need to reformat this hdd. i don't see this option when i attempt to install os 7.1.
