minion187 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 got 10.4.8 installed, and backed up. ready to take the next step towards 10.5. got a Brazilimac patched DVD torrent downloaded, burned, but when i boot from it - it reboots without warning. can't get -v to leave me a error message to paste here. installing from a IDE DVD-RW drive connected as master. i seem to remember a way to write the install image to a partition on a HD and boot from that partition, installing from there...but i can't find it anywhere. am i imagining things or is it just buried a few pages back? any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76590-patched-leopard-dvd-reboots-any-way-to-write-the-install-to-a-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 If you have an already up and running Mac OS X install, you can simply use Disk Utility to Restore the ISO to a blank partition on an internal or external drive, and go from there. Or if that won't work/be possible, you could always grab the leopard flat image(2GB compressed, 16GB extracted) from the Bay and try it that way by DDing the image to a drive, which will give you a full install.

minion187 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 tried the DD method a few times without any luck from within windows. in OSX 10.4.8 now, Disk Utility isn't letting me choose the ISO file as a source in the restore option so i guess that's a no go...maybe it has to be a .dmg?

Korrupted Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 It might. Try ripping your burned DVD as a dmg file and seeing if that works.
