I have been able to start the emac with an external Firewire HD which
has OS 10.5 and the emac has a stick of 256 MGs of ram. When I've used
the option key to choose a drive, sometimes the internal HD shows up
and sometimes it doesn't. I've run Disk Utility on the drive, as well
as the drive utility from Apple Care. The Apple Care utility checks out
the HD as just fine without any errors. Running Disk Utility shows
there are problems with permissions and other issues with it. I've not
gotten it to be completely repaired with regards to permissions.
TIA for any help. And yes, I've tried selecting the internal drive
using setup preferences and choosing the internal drive. At that point,
it just sits there and won't reboot when the internal drive is showing.

Restart the eMac holding down the shift key and it will start in

Check your version there too jut incase OSX thinks your usb stick is
the hardrive. Ive always been told to copy any osx upgrade to the
harddrive before starting it
cheers paul
You run the upgrade from the instal DVD/CD. Also, he meant RAM stick,
not USB stick.
