Dojan5 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi. I recently got a MacBook with 2.16GHz, 160GB HDD and 1GB RAM. The Mac has a broken DVD drive, so I cannot install Mac OS X 10.5. However, I wonder, as my PC has a broken CD Drive, I used to copy over the I386 directory from the CD on another computer to a thumb drive and then into the computer, can I like copy over files like that and install from the harddrive?

Dojan5 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 I can't afford that right now. My top priority is to get a DVI to VGA adapter. And I've already got a Mac OS X DVD. Plus, my question was if I could start installing from within the computer without needing a DVD drive.
