Power Macintosh 7100/66 will not start

Comment:

I picked up an old power macintosh 7100/66 at a thrift store. I got the computer to boot successfully once, after that I could only get to the splash screen (Welcome to Mac OS), and after that the HD quit running. I did pick up a software package cheap on ebay that has an install disk for OS 8.5, and I am able to boot from the CD, and the disk utility says the HD checks out okay. When I tried to just go ahead & install the newer OS it says I am unable to install it on this machine. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
