TheCoolNerds Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 hey dudes. whats up. well i got OSX86 running on my desktop. Now i want to install it on my laptop. Problem is. My Laptop dvd reader is crappy. QSI SW-086. {censored}! Well anywho. I dont want to spend the 80+ bucks on a replacement. So I want to buy a external DVD burner. But the problem is my laptop cannot boot from a external optical drive. I can boot from my USB flash drive boot not from a USB OPTICAL drive. So i am wondering is it possible to make a startup disk that can load some USB drivers and recognize my USB OPTICAL DRIVE and basically run set up from there...

Guest Ramm Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Not really. You are going to have to get a new DVD reader. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57276-possible-to-install-osx86-from-dos-startup-disk/#findComment-409485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
