  Gang, Discovered the problem. Turns out the Metafile Import
converter file in the
  Shared Libraries/Graphics Filters folder was corrupted! Re-copied it
  off the CD, and... Walla! No Red X of Death! It usually is the simple
  things...

Try WinImage - it can even write bootable mac floppies:

If you don't yet have a bootable mac disk but instead have a working PC,
you can make a bootable System 7.5 mac disk on a PC:

Expand Network Access Disk image with Aladdin Expander-win and write it to
a HD floppy using WinImage - this disk boots a SuperDrive-equipped mac if
it supports System 7.5. (WinImage doesn't seem to support self mounting
image files (.smi), only "plain" Disk Copy 4.2 disk images so this trick
doesn't work with all System files on the net).
