djet Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Ummm my DVD that I'm using to burn has only 4.7 gb available. Is there a way to divide the .cdr file into two separate files so I can burn it onto 2 separate discs?

thefinalprophecy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Use a double layer DVD-R. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112053-divide-into-two-discs/#findComment-793541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefinalprophecy Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Or do a retail-disc-image method of installing, which of course requires a secondary Leopard install. This might work. Probably best just to burn a double-layer. I think best buy has them in sale this week (if u are in the US) for less than a buck each.

JBLanteigne Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Ummm my DVD that I'm using to burn has only 4.7 gb available. Is there a way to divide the .cdr file into two separate files so I can burn it onto 2 separate discs? I'm wondering the same with .dmg files...

Synaesthesia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 im not sure if this is going to work but i opened the dmg into toast and am burning to 11 cd-r's was this dumb of me?No, this won't work... You need to reduce the size of the DMG with the method to squeeze Leopard onto one SL-DVD. Removing Languages + Printers etc. There's a guide on the forum, I'm too lazy to find it now for you - just search & you'll find it Another solution is to install straight from the .dmg onto another partition using Pacifist from Leopard - then dual-boot Snow Leopard + Leopard.

Sabr Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Here's a guide for burning an OS X Leopard install disc onto a single layer DVD. I presume you could do the same for Snow Leopard...? http://www.canhesaythat.com/?p=75 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112053-divide-into-two-discs/#findComment-1032405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kocoman Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Has anyone been successful to boot dual layer dvd+r DL discs? I keep getting EBIOS errors. What about DVD-r DL disc, would it help? Or USB/PXE method would be nice too if possible Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112053-divide-into-two-discs/#findComment-1050903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I tried the shrinking tutorials myself, both with using disk utility to make r/w images and delete files, and with carboncopycloner to exclude some things, both methods made disks that looked fine but wouldn't boot for me (MBP early 08). I ended up getting a successful install by simply expanding the dmg onto a usb drive (actually I made a separate partition on a usb drive I usually use for timemachine) and booting off that, worked a treat and seemed much faster than a dvd to install from.

Embio Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Why not just use an external hard drive? Or even install from within Leopard by running OSinstall.mpkg.
