leorimolo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I have a huge problem I have a dell Inspiron 6400 and will not read ANY Leopard Installation dvd's, So I got it installed on an external drive on another computer (also the other computers Sata isn't detected in Leo, so I can install leo directly to my hdd). I partitioned my hdd with vista and left the other half ready for leopard (unallocated). So will Using restore partition work for leopard?on a half vista hdd? Please I want to get this to work without killing vista. Thanks, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am...me Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If your drive isnt detected then you cant restore the partition like that. And yes i dont think the restore function would erase anything. you just need to format the amount of space you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
