DarkOne951 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've been trying to do the same thing for lack of better option. I dont have any DVD's to burn the .iso to, so I'm trying to find a way to burn it (or something of the sort) to my flash drive and boot from it - to install that way. Any clues as to how I may go about doing this?

artrbinfo Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 It shouldn't be so hard, but main problem is that in windows it dosn't se mac files and when I try to extract files, it extracts just 64kb ( all what needed to boot from PC machine ), but other files isn't viewable for pc, maybe there is some software to view mac files, and extract them, if no after some time I'll be able to work with imac and then I'll extract all mac files to flash drive , and add just PC boot files from PC...

KiTzBiTz Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Install Mac Drive 7 on your Windows..You'll see the whole file..if you wanted to copy whole file..then add up Ultra Iso Application into your Windows..(latest) then open your DVD drive that contains your LEO..then switch to HFS volume..there you have your LEO whole file listed direct from your DVD,..ok..
