Color Macintosh boot floppy?

Can anyone help me with creating a boot floppy for a Color Macintosh?  
I have a machine whose hard disk died and I'm trying to replace it  
but I don't have a boot floppy containing DiskTools to format the new  
(Apple) hard drive. I *do* have an install CD for System 7.5 but it  
doesn't seem to want to boot on the Color Classic even if I hold "C"  
down when I start up the Mac. I'd be happy to pay for shipping and  
something extra for the effort involved in making the DiskTools boot  
disk.

By the way, I've already tried downloading the DiskTools 7.5 and 8.5  
images that are available on the net. Unfortunately, they won't boot  
on the Color Classic. I get a message saying that a system resource  
is missing. I'm assuming that they don't have the right enabler for  
the Color Classic.

Thanks!
David
