You'll probably need a new hard drive for it. Especially if the install floppy cant find the HD.

Your best bet would be to scour eBay for a replacement.

Also, if you've ever done any sort of hardware repair on a computer, you shouldn't have any problems replacing it. Those old macs were meant to be serviced.

You'll need a 1/3 height SCSI hard drive. This is just a standard size drive.
