TheAppleFreak Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I really want to install a copy of Mac OS X on a USB flash drive that I can take to school with me. I know that there are Torrents that contain ISOs for installation on a PC, but my BlackBook hates Torrenting (I cannot get fast speeds at all). Also, I know that there are DIY tutorials available, but I only have restore disks, and they require Retail disks. Therefore, I am wondering if I can use a 10.5.2 partition that I installed yesterday to place on a USB disk (Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB) and apply the patches from there to work on the PCs I am forced to use (Dell Optiplex 745). As said above, I installed a copy of OS X on a partition on my BlackBook. It only has what I need and weighs in at 6.9 GB. I am wondering if I can go to my main partition and apply the patches to the new install from there. Is this possible?

lord_webi Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 just use CarbonCopyCloner to clone your partition to the USB stick and install the chameleon bootmanager on that stick, done !

It's seriously that simple? That would completely make my day. Thank you!
