Hello you.
I recently bought a Mac Classic II and it is now refusing to boot. I questioned my son on the matter (I let him play with it) and he said he deleted the 'Extensions Off' folder.
If you can help me, please post here or message me. It is urgent!
Thanks,

I'm not sure what "Extensions Off" means but you can tell the Mac to ignore the Extensions folder when the computer boots by holding the Shift key down as the system starts.
Note that Extensions add a lot of functionality to the system so it will be impractical to use the system in this "minimalist" mode for long.
But starting up with Extensions off will give you access to the hard drive and a few other things.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I currently have the '?' Floppy disk. Also, when i tried holding down shift, it stayed on the 'Welcome to Macintosh' screen forever.
Then he's probably deleted the System Folder (like deleting system32 on Windows). Try booting from a boot diskette.
Where can I get one of these from? I have the equipment to burn the file to a floppy, but I don't have the files themsleves. Thanks for Replying!
Well, you could use these:
Or search around for some dsk images.
The Disk Tools disk worked, it booted up the Mac. However, whenever I remove the disk, it gives me an error. Also, I can't boot the mac without the disk tools disk. What can I do?
You will need to "install" the Macintosh System onto the computer. Before you do this you might want to attempt to save any files you have on the computer, you can do this by simply copying the files onto your Disk Tools diskette.

If this works, I will love you eternally :3
Thanks, I think. 🙂
When I've burnt all the disks, how will I be able to boot from Install 1? The Mac seems to only be able to boot from the Disk Tools floppy?
The Mac should be able to boot from Install 1 exactly the same as from the Disk Tools floppy.
I inserted the Install 1 disk, and I got the 'Happy Mac' for about a second, then the disk was ejected 😟. What do I do?
Hmm. Maybe the diskette is faulty? I've never had that problem before. Is there another blank diskette you can try?
I'll try that now, thanks.
It was a diskette problem! I loaded this new diskette in and I got this error message
"A disk error has occured and installation cannot continue. Your disk may be damaged. Sorry."
What do I do now?
