54mbps Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Could someone please take me through the steps to install leopard (9a410) using an external HD? ANY help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grzybu Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 It quite simple: 1. Create a partition using Disk Utility on external hdd with GUID Partition Table (on intel macs) 2. Restore Leopard dmg to this partition 3. Restart your mac. Hold Option Key, choose the External HDD. That's all. I've been using this method to install few versions of Leopard.

daSilVetZ Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I cannot get this to work. I have a Powerbook G4. I restored Leopard to a partition on my external USB drive, and it shows up when i hold down Option while rebooting. However it just remains stuck at the grey apple screen. It's driving me nuts.

NSCocoa SoftWare Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ok you will want to use Disk Utility.app and "Restore" from "Source: leopard_client_9a410.dmg" for example to the "Destination: into the small partition of your External HDD". Go to System Preference/Startup Disk and select the small partition of your External HDD then click restart to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
