dimond Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 My DVD drive, (Toshiba Satellite) has a problem, which is common with that model, that it will not boot off of DVDs. This is quite a pain to me, beacuse I am trying to install 10.4.8 JaS with the DVD. I was thinking, though. Could I put the JaS install disk image on a partition and the boot off of it? If I can, how would I do it? Thank you for your help! DimondEdge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlipHDK Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 You need to copy what is in the image to this partition, then you need to insall a boot loader to load the partition. What operating system are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimond Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Currently, I am running 10.4.6, which I installed from the tiger-x86-unpersonalized.img Baisicly, I want to run the 10.4.8 installer, but can't. I can also load Windows XP, Ubuntu, or Red Hat Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimond Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 UPDATE: Well, I copied over my ISO, mounted it, and copied (by selecting and dragging) all of the files to a different partition. Then, I used GParted to set that partition to "BOOT". When I restarted, it said "Not a system disk. Press any key to restart." When I press a key, it does it again, and so on. So, whats going on? Why cant I boot? In case I missed something, the files on the partition are: Apple Hardware Test Read Me.pdf Install bundled software only.pkg Install Mac OS X and bundled software Japanese Library mach_kernel mach_kernel.mifki Optional Installs.pkg Read Before You Install System Welcome To Tiger.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
