Not possible. The Mini didn't exist in the 7.5 days. 7.5 doesn't
have the proper drivers needed to run the graphics card, support its
bus architecture or deal with USB ports.
I have created two partitions . On one partition Mac OS X 10.4 and
Mac OS 9.2 are installed.
9.x sounds like the newest OS that might support the Mini hardware.
I created the partition using Mac OS X 10.4 CD-> Disk Utility
option. Both the partions are in HFS+ format. If because of HFS+
format, Mac OS 7.5 CD is not bootable then how to change the disk
partition to Mac OS 7.5 compatible format.
That might be another factor. I think HFS+ was added with 8.1 or
thereabouts. But as I said, the missing drivers will stop you way
before you'd even get to the file system issue.
If anybody know the solution , please reply.
As others have mentioned, you'd need SheepShaver or a similar
application to emulate a machine that 7.5 knows how to talk to.
I'm not at all clear what this would have to do with Xcode,
though...? Xcode is a developer tool that first shipped with... what,
10.2? You might want to take this to a more appropriate forum.
