AbsoFokinlutely Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hello, I downloaded (64 parts) the leopard os x so I could make a dvd and then install it on a MacBook Air computer. My question is: How do I create this dvd? I use win xp on my pc and winace for .rar type files. I want to create the dvd on the windows computer because thats where I downloaded the files to. Can someone give a little instruction on how to go about this? Thankyou for your patience & sorry if I dont have all the terminology just right. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Gujal Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 What is this about? MacBook Air would have come with Leopard anyway. I haven't heard of a Tiger version of MacBook Air. And the 64 parts may be useless on a Real Mac. probably it is the flat image from long back for installing on Beige Boxes before Distros started appearing Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104289-how-to-create-dvd-from-rar-files-dl-on-a-win-pc/#findComment-743502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoFokinlutely Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 My friend bought a (secondhand) macbook ( my bad, it's not an "air" model) and somehow he has now managed to lock himself out . He was using it fine I guess but changed something and now he cant log on. Anyways, he needs an operating system disk to fix this, (right?) He said it has Tiger ( I dont know the version) on it. I downloaded a set of .RAR files that is suppose to be the new leopard o/s. I use a windows based pc. I wanted to make him the dvd of the leopard o/s but I want it to fit on a single layer dvd. I need to know how to do this: (1) make the o/s disk on my win pc (2) make it fit on a s/l dvd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104289-how-to-create-dvd-from-rar-files-dl-on-a-win-pc/#findComment-745489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 When you unrar, do you get leopard_105.dmg or something similar? If it is a real Leopard disk for Mac, it will be dmg file. You can open the DMG file in Windows PC using PowerISO and you can edit to remove XCODE and may be printer drivers to drop the size to a single layer DVD and save the image as ISO or burn from within PowerISO. When installing on the Macbook, you have to make sure that you don ot select XCode and Printer Drivers during install. PS: Or you can get a real Leopard disk for $129 from Applestore Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104289-how-to-create-dvd-from-rar-files-dl-on-a-win-pc/#findComment-745785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
