How to install System 7 on Macintosh SE/30 ?

Question

I bought some Macintosh Classic SE/30 floppies, among them the System 7.1 install floppy disks.

I tried some of the other floppies , e.g., Fonts or Tidbits, and they seem to work fine,

however, the Mac says that the Install floppies are not readable (see attached image, German unfortunately).

Is there anything special I have to do to install System 7 on the Mac SE/30 ?

Currently, the Mac has System 6.0.5.

Best regards,

Gabriel.

Nothing to be done on your end - your install disks are just bad. You might buy a newly minted set of 7.1 and keep your originals for posterity:
