Ive got a Mac SE with a 40mb hd from a IIcx along with the ram from the IIcx. It was working fine, but this morning when i went to boot it up it brought up the Sad Mac. Along with the sad mac i get the codes 0000000E and 0000FF00. Im wondering if my dumbass disabling some extentions caused this issue? I have no start up disks for it either. Now at the end of this week the SE goes back to its stock set up since ill be getting to power suppy for the IIcx. Is there anyway for me to make a disk on my powerbook 145b and use it to boot the SE so i can fix the extentions?

I believe Norton Utilities used to have a pretty good startup disk-maker if you have that. Otherwise, try making a really pared-down system folder. Remove most of the extensions, fonts, etc. and it should fit on a floppy pretty well. I did it a couple of times when my LC II died and I don't recall having any problems.

I've never heard of disabling extensions rendering a disk unbootable, though. It sounds like it needs to be repaired to me.

Well i cant get it to boot at all. It stalls at the Welcome to Macintosh screen. I would try to down load something offline to see if i could get it to load the OS at least one more time, but the only online computer ive got with floppy drive is a HP. The SE has a 800k floppy in it anyway. I wont be messing with it untill the end of the week anyway since the power suppy wont be here untill then. Ive put the SE and IIcx back to the way they should be with their own RAM and HD's. The SE works fine now, but the IIcx will be dead when i get the power suppy for it. What really sucks is I just spent $18.26 for a power suppy off of ebay for a dead caomputer. Oh well
