Hi Gabriel,
Good work.
There should be a sound of a spinning hard disk (but a hard drive can be quite quiet, too).
Also, remember that the Drive Setup version on that floppy is an early one. It is possible to download
Drive Setup 1.7.3 and (using a special technique) modify a tools disk; but it will be very difficult without a functioning hard drive in the Mac.
One more thing. The PowerBook 5300 is equipped with two PC Card slots for 16-bit PCMCIA. It is a very good idea to buy an inexpensive PC Card adapter (such as the one
here) for CompactFlash memory cards. A CompactFlash card will appear to the PowerBook as an extra hard drive. The CF cards are normally PC-formatted but can be reformatted to Mac.
