Is it possible to rip the contents of a OSX Leopard DVD and put it into a USB drive then install via the USB drive? Sira kasi itong DVD drive ng MAC na hinihiram ko...

just use a usb optical drive. 7gb+ ang laman nyang leopard dvd.

Pwede sana yung via ext storage, pero through firewire pa lang ang nasubukan ko, sa USB hindi pa so no idea.

I thought of that too but I am trying the cheaper route (USB installation) since I don't have an external optical drive so mapapabili pa ako...

Ayaw talaga gumana using USB external HDD. So ayun bumili na ako ng external drive. Now I am in the process of creating a single partition (dti kasi 2 partitions, a Windows XP and OSX) and it takes so long... Ganun ba talaga? 1 hour na ata ako naghihintay CREATING PARTITION MAP parin!

it should take a few seconds lang. Basta sandali lang yun.

Baka sira yung HDD?

Ok na. What I did was I quitted the disk utility app then it warned me it might damage my HDD I said f*** it! Tapos I rebooted using the utility disc and then created a new partition (the HDD has no partition at all) that was fast a few seonds nga lang. Then ayun na-install ko na din. Ayan fresh start uli, nice...
