MyTrip Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi, I think it's possible to install Mac OS X from USB, yestoday i tried it by Kingston 2G flash disk, and my laptop just accept USB-CDROM boot, I must make my Kingston flash disk to USB-CDROM. So you should make sure your Kingston's chip number by Chip Genius, and download a tool for it to make your flash to USB-CDROM. You can send me your chip number, i can help u to download that tool. Good Luck! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/103042-install-leopard-from-usb-drive/#findComment-735872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyTrip Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi KiriIV, Please download SK6281_PDT_20080123.rar, and then unpack it, I made a PDF instruction for you inside it, because i have no flash disk same as yours, so I'm not 100% sure it can works success. After done, please re-plug your flash disk, system can find a cd-rom with mac system and a flash disk. Please try it. Good Luck!
