ArkaPro Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi, Im installing 10.5.7 for my new rig (check sig) I used the amazing Digital Dreamers Tutorial and script! So far I managed to install everything but the GPU I tried to install it and I broke my good install. So my question is: What is the best way to BACKUP\clone\image a proper install of OSX? so next time I'll have a failure of any kind I'll just copy it back to the HDD and thats it - continue from the same good spot. Its killing me to reinstall everything every time I install the wrong kext... Thanks guys!

silaisa Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 You can Disk Utillity and if you create an small partition you'll have a new Leo install so you don't need to insert the dvd any more. Also you can use Carbon Copy cloner.

Boot0: GPTBoot0: testing Boot0: testing Boot0: testing Boot0: testing Boot0: testing Boot0: error Can it be fixed? the only way for me now is to load to a temp OSX distro and reinstall chameleon Is there a LIVECD LINUX bootloader that can do this simple buckup job so I can RESTORE it easily?!??
