Linoleum Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hello. Here is my problem : I've got an original DVD of Leopard image (.dmg), I would like to know if I can use it directly , or with a patch, to install Leopard on my PC. or do I have no other choice then using a "patched" dvd like ToH ? Thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77161-installing-with-an-original-leopard-dvd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 You can use original unpatched DVD if you have Tiger or Leopard already running (on another computer or another disk/partition of your computer). I personally connected an empty disk to my iMac, installed Leopard on it, made required changes, then connected the disk back to my Hackin0sh (see my sig).

Korrupted Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Believe me if you want to or not, but I Restore imaged my leo dvd to my external enclosure hard drive, after i had already put GUID/EFI on it, and I nearly had the image booting. It crashes/hangs as soon as it reaches the space wallpaper/beachball and stops.
