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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81125-install-by-restoring-partition/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81125-install-by-restoring-partition/#findComment-575836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnbvc Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 i have a dell 640m.i use usbhdd install my leo.i hope this can help you. you can use a usbhdd with itakos to install leopard. first you need a mac or hackmac and a leoinstallcd(i prefer to itakos) then use the mac restore the leoinstallcd img to you usbhdd.(you need a darwin boot loader on usbhdd) then boot you laptop from usbhdd with f12(before,you may need turn off one of your cpu core) and install it like using a cd. and enjoy. any question plz mail singlezhangxing AT Gmail.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81125-install-by-restoring-partition/#findComment-577510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
