xhopesfall24 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hello, I have my hard drive partitioned for an OS X install.. but I don't have a DVD burner (Yes, I know they are cheap.. but so am I!). Any suggestions on other possible ways to install it? I do have a secondary hard drive installed and a laptop I could use. Just throwing what I have available for use out there. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhopesfall24 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 No suggestions? Any way I can use my desktop to install os x onto my laptop? Or any safe way to burn the iso over multiple CDs instead of one dvd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilSoldier Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Well you can either mount the ISO and install through VMware, or you can *try* and extract the disk image onto a hard drive and try booting off that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilSoldier Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I can't remember exactly how to do it, but there should be a setting for an optical drive (i.e. which drive to use) and you can set that to an ISO i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaaku Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 ye ah, dont know muchabout it, but used to use programme called daemon tools in windows. It simulated a virtual dvd drive in my computer. Used to use it to watch or write dvd's without burning the iso's first anyway it would be someting to start with, but the windows bit isn't helpfull. theres a lot of VM'ers out there. Easier to put the .iso un a usb key & get someone to burn it for you (use 4x to avoid errors) . They only cost bout 25p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
