i have some better ideas I think...

 

 

open up disk utility...

 

 

plug in your ipod (who doesn't have one??!?!?)

 

 

restore your ipod using the image that you downloaded...

 

 

plug in ipod when computer is booting and hold option down...

 

 

select the ipod to boot from...

 

 

vula (or however the {censored} u spell that)...

 

 

EDIT: forgot "..."s after a line... :whistle:

perhaps. I mean, for the hackintosh DVDs, i remember i installed them on literally about 50 machines (i should've charged, but im a nice guy :( ) Anyways, depending on DVD read speed, the DVD usually takes a bit. At most maybe 10-15 minutes to get past the Apple Logo. You sometimes hear the drive cranking away during this time. I'm sure its the same for the legit Apple install disk. So give it like 15 minutes.

What? I never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes for the setup screen to appear, no wonder I thought it hanged!

I am in need of some help. I am trying to back up my Leopard DVD to a DVD-DL, with no success.

 

I think the issue is that I cannot make the DVD bootable. Can someone explain to me what I need to do (including what options I need to select).

 

Here is what I have tried:

 

In 10.4.10

 

1. Open Disk Utility

2. Highlight "Mac OS X Install DVD" in the left

3. Click "Create New Image"

4. I name the file "Mac OS X Install DVD" and I select the options of Image Format "DVD/CD Master" and Encryption "None"

5. I click save

6. When the image is finished I eject the Leopard DVD.

7. I then insert a blank Dual Layer DVD

8. I go back to Disk Utility

9. I highlight the Mac OS X Install DVD

10. I click Burn.

 

 

I have created two DVD's that appear to be install DVD's, but they are not bootable. I see a lot of posts saying remember to make it bootable, but I don't know how to do this, or even in which step that is done (in creating the image or burning the DVD).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
