Bruce is correct, use Firewire Target Disk Mode: 1) place the Intel Installer DVD into the G5 and Shutdown the G5. 2) restart the G5 holding the "T" key to boot into Firewire Target mode. The G5 should show a Firewire symbol on the monitor. 3) use a Firewire cable to attach the G5 to the shutdown laptop. 4) boot the laptop holding the "Option" key, and the G5 DVD should show up in the boot screen as a bootable option, which you select, boot, and install from onto the laptop HD. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
