jdmdelsol97 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ok so i have a dell dimension 4500 running ubuntu 8.10 ...and it orginally had a cd drive which i swapped out with a dvd drive...all fit in perfect and makes the noise of what seems to me "working" but for what reason i dont know it wont read dvds...so burning a dvd to install osx86 is going to be useless. (i'll show you my problems in the link). my questions is is there anyway i can install it without a dvd? im downloading it on my desktop now hoping to god i can just open it and it will take it from there. any ideas?? my computer being useless Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135911-any-other-way/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
