Before I upgraded my system, I was using Norton Utilities (Mac) 2.0 to back up. I then installed the same program on my new system (using OS 7.5) and then tried to restore. I get, "Invalid Node Size - error 172". the old machine is dead, so I stuck trying to restore my files onto the new one. Any suggestions?

It probably isn't compatible with either Power Macs or System 7.5. Why can't you just copy the files you need from the IIci to the 7600 via LocalTalk and/or Ethernet and/or SCSI?
