OK, now I see. Are you installing on the 575 using diskettes and the internal hard drive is the only one? I think that installers detect the machine they're running on and if the installer wasn't meant for a 575 then it refuses.

Do you have an external drive or at least a Zip? If you do, hook it up to the 575 and see if you can install on that. Might be easier if you make disk images and install from them, too. That's what I did--I hooked an external SCSI drive to my PowerCenter Pro and mounted all the disk images of my old Powerbook 520c disk set, and installed to the external hard drive (not the boot drive) from there. Then I put the correct enabler on it.

So you have a 575 and a CC? Network them together using Appletalk (a printer cable is enough), and mount the drive of the 575 on the CC desktop. Rename the System folder on the 575 something like 'old system folder' and then try to install using the diskettes in the CC.

Oh, I was wrong about the 7.1.1--it's the 575 that needs that as a minimum, I think, not the CC. Your 'new' computer will think it is a 575.
