XedLos Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well i just got Leopard 9a499 but i dont have any DL DVD's and wanted to install it and found some instructions on how to do it PREPHave TWO blank partitions ready. One will be for the installer and the other will be where you install Leopard. LET?S GO * With your disc image mounted, open the Disk Utility application (Applications -> Utilities). *if you want to install on teh same drive, make 2 partitions first * Click the Restore tab (see it near the top of the Disk Utility window? Just after First Aid, Erase and RAID?) * Drag your DMG file from the list on the left of your Disk Utility window to the ?Source? field. * Then, drag the icon of the partition you want to put the installer on to the ?Destination? field. Again, do this from the left pane of your Disk Utility window. If you try to do this from the desktop (as I kept trying to do) you?re going to drive yourself bonkers. * Click the ?Erase Destination? check box so that it shows a check. * I also skipped the Checksum. You might or might not want to do the same. Your call. * Click Restore. * Wait until done. Once the above is complete you now have a bootable OSX Leopard Install partition. Or if you have a DL DVD, then just partition the drive however you want and boot from teh CD, and choose the USB drive as the install directory The thing is that i cant partition my drive i go into Disk Utilities and try to partition it but the options to rename or change the sixe are rey and i cant click them How can i make the partitions i need and still keep Tiger running after i install Leopard. Kinda like doing a dual boot between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisequark Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Use boot camp to split the partitions then install or restore to the new partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started bootcamp and the nit said to partition the drive for windows os i did but that was only one partition i cant do 2 1. create partition on ur mac with boot camp 2. boot into your mac os x install dvd(came with ur comp) and format the drive to hfs+ 3. boot onto mac os x and restore the dmg to the partition that u just formatted 4. boot into that disk and install on ur main partition.

st4u Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I just restored my iPod as an image of the DMG (of leopard) then booted into my iPod to install it, but this will only work on intel macs IIRC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisequark Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 It'll work on some PPC mac's. You may need to boot into open firmware though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
