I'm trying to install X5 on a machine that won't accept the newer,
larger, DVDs. 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?
Iv'e been told so.
As Kris said, you cannot boot from the drive that you are going to
install to. If you have a second Mac you can install to the first
Mac using Firewire Target Disk Mode (connect the two Macs with a
firewire cable, restart the 'target' mac holding down the 'T' key,
as soon as the Mac's hard drive shows up in the other Mac's Finder
sidebar as an external drive you can install).
It sounds convoluted but it really isn't.
Wonderfull. Thanks.
