Trekky0623 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi, I don't have any DVDs on hand at the moment, so I was wondering if it was possible to boot the Kalyway install iso from a usb external harddrive (8 GB). If this is possible, can someone give me some solutions on how to do this?

Baradar Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Do you have a computer that is running OS X Leopard currently? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149705-how-to-install-kalyway-without-a-dvd/#findComment-1059088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekky0623 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 No, I do not. I have Windows Vista at the moment. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149705-how-to-install-kalyway-without-a-dvd/#findComment-1059135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamsonT Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 yes, you can. Using Leopard installation helper is a good way. You can download and learn how to use it in Genius bar in this forum. To avoid losing any data, you can compress a big volume(with a lot of free space available) in a tool called disk management in Vista and create a new volume on the unallocated area generated from previous space. Kalyway iso could then be copied to the new partition using installation helper. Remember to mark the Kalyway partition active to allow the system boot from that partition.

tskraps Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 yargh. ive searched. and searched. im still unable to find any thing that really gives me solid awnsers as far as how to install Kalyway without a dvd. I really have no extra DVD drives, I have multiple usb sticks and external hard drives. but im serious, every method or guide starts to spin out of control on me. i've installed OSX on multiple computers, but right now im stuck trying with an Dell Inspiron 6000 and an HP DV7-1135nr. Im still semi-new with this, i take long breaks on the projects. but, im well rounded with computers. I have no Mac computer to use [eh, kinda] but id really appreciate anything extra to help this out. any tips.. anyone..

don123 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 So if you have a running mac how does one do this? It would be a better alternative to burning DVDs every time I feel like experimenting with my i855 based laptop...
