I'm trying to install X5 on a machine that won't accept the newer,
larger, DVDs.
I'm assuming by "X5" you mean Leopard 10.5, the first OS to ship on
dual-layer discs.
Yupp
if you happen to have a home burned copy on a dual-layer DVD-R or DVD
+R disc, this could possibly not work, and often firmware updates
for the DVD drive can add support for more media types and enable an
unreadable disc to work, BUT you probably need a Windows PC in order
to update the firmware.
Probably what is happening here. Oddly enough some burned DVDs are
accepted and some are not.
I have moved a X.5 .dmg to the computer's hd and now I'm
trying to reboot the whole machine from the dmg. Is that even
possible? I've been told so.
No, you can't boot from the .dmg file. You must clone the .dmg onto
a partition and then boot that partition.
Can it be done from an external HD?
