Grim Reaper Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Although I have read that others have done it, I have been having no success with getting an external 20 GB USB drive running on the Dells (SSE2) with Tiger or Leopard. I have formatted that hard drive various ways and installed Kalway's Leopard installation over and over and I have tried the instructions in various "guides" to "bless" and "activate" the drive and/or partition (only one) without any success. Is there a "bullet proof" method of doing this? Here's what I have available to do whatever is necessary: I have legit copies of Tiger and Leopard. I have an iMac 400 MHz which is running Tiger 10.4.11. I have a Dell D600 laptop with a Pentium M 1.4 GHz with 1 GB of memory and an internal DVD player. I have a Dell GX270 Pentium 4 2.8 GHz with 1 GB of memory without an internal DVD player. I have lots of external DVD burners and hard drives with Firewire and USB 2 interfaces. I have: gparted live CD; DiskWarrior (10.4.8 boot); various other drive formatting utilities for Mac and PC; and various hacked Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 installation DVDs for Intel. The Dells have their BIOS set to boot from USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
