Hi all;

Thanks for the advice.

I downloaded the english universal version of system 7.5.3. The
problem was how to repartition and/initialise and install the new
system. As system file for a 3.5 boot disk and the programs to
check/fix and partition the hard drive do not fit on one disk and the
system would not let me swap 3.5 disks with the startup disk.

I solved the problem, after many hours of tinkering. I noticed my
Apple 2gs had a 3.5 800k disk drive  connected.

So now I have the Mac SE/30s hard disk partitioned into System (30Meg)
Applications (30Meg) and Work.Area (20Meg) and system 7.5.3 minium for
your Mac installed. I zapped the pram, rebuilt the desktop and run the
Disk First Aide (DFA) program.

There is only one problem, the settings are doing crazy things, like
the startup control panal has all three parttions highlighted and when
I unhighlight them, select only the system partition, close it and
then either reopen it or restart the computer it is back to all
partitions highlighted.  I thought it was the pram battery, but the
time settings are alright, it is even keeping time.

Another problem is that when I vertify with DFA I get this error
message;

Problem: Missing file record for this thread,

and then two numbers.

the numbers for the partition system are 260, 87

and for the partition applications; 58, 18

Can anyone  help me, please :z
