And just to clarify, drag the image file to the "Restore from” rather than the 
DVD as described.

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Yeah,  I am following the instructions at:
http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html

1.  Open Disk Utility and select the Flash Drive
	2.	Select the Erase tab on the right and then set Format 
to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name the partition you'll be creating 
Snow Leopard or OS X Install so you can keep track of your 
installation device. After you've done this, click the Erase button.


Step 2 won't complete.  When I "click on the "erase" button,  it said 
the source has not been verified, but offers no way to verify.   When 
I go to the "first aid" tab of the disk utility, find the file, and 
click verify, it verifies, but then the "restore" tab does the same 
thing on the nest try to "restore."


I tried copy paste to put the files on the USB stick but that does 
not show up as bootable.


Still frustrating!

Thanks for any suggestions.


The same. Get the image file and load it on to a bootable USB stick 
and you're done.

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

I see part of the problem.  the disk utility is supposed to have a 
"Partition " tab that lets you install the GUID.  Mine (10.6.8) has 
only 4 tabs; first aid, erase, RAID, restore.

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Format the USB drive first.  Put it in, run Disk Utility, and create a single 
partition on it that is Mac OS Extended.  Screw the erase stuff, that’s silly.

As you know, creating a new partition on it will blow anything that’s on it 
away, so erasing is moot.  If you just bought the USB drive, I’ll bet you $10 
it’s formatted in FAT or NTFS.  Once you’ve created a new partition in a Mac 
format it should be just fine.

Then do your restore to the USB using the disk image.

In Disk Utility, you’ll see both the physical disk, then the volume that’s on 
it below.  You won’t see the Partition tab unless you’re highlighting the 
physical disk, NOT the volume.

Yeah, I finally figgered out it was not showing me the USB Stick, but 
the partition on it.  Once I found out how to see the stick, then the 
partition tab showed up.


Right now it is loading the OS on the stick FINALLY!


Format the USB drive first.  Put it in, run Disk Utility, and create 
a single partition on it that is Mac OS Extended.  Screw the erase 
stuff, that's silly.


As you know, creating a new partition on it will blow anything

Snag an external DVD drive and go USB or Firewire.  You can also use another 
mac to install it

[MBZ] A Mac question

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Mac ?

I am trying to upgrade the old macbook 1.1 from 10.5 to 10.6 so I can 
get a web browser that works.


Thanks to Dan, I have the disk image for the 10.6 install.  It won't 
boot from the computer; says I have to put it on a disk.  It won't 
work on a normal dvd, but wants a dual layer DVD+ -.  There are no 
dual layer blank dvds to be bought in town, unless the univ bookstore 
has some tomorrow.  None at floormart or at worstbuy.  Staples packed 
up the tent and left.


I bought a WD "my passport" external drive, and first used it to back 
up the machine HD.  After the "must burn to disk" warning, i thought 
I could put the install file on the external drive and boot from 
that.  No dice!  It seems that the WD external drives made explicitly 
for Mac won't boot from a mac.  So, what is the mac equivalent of the 
MBR from a winders drive?


The next option seems to be a 16 GB USB stick.  I've found scripts to 
use to make a USB stick bootable using terminal.  At this point, and 
with 10 dvd DL costing $20-30, it seems like the USB stick may be the 
shortest route to success.


Anyone BTDT?  What are your thoughts, Mac guys?  Thanks

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Hmm, that's very interesting, as I have 10.6 on a factory DVD and it's  
single layer, the drive in my early Intel books is not dual layer.


how big is the image?  If it will fit on a single layer DVD, try using  
Disk Utility to burn it.  I usually use DragonBurn, it's much faster  
and less cranky though.

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Thanks Peter.  Good thoughts, as usual!  It said it is 6.4Gb.  I 
tried several times using  normal dvds.   My MBPro 8.1 will burn DL, 
but I didn't stop to check the macbook 1.1 combo drive.  If it won't 
read DL, then the USB may be the only option.


I think I'll try buying a new USB Stick tomorrow.

There is a possibility of using "boot from remote drive" but I have 
not researched the requirements for doing so.

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

The universal disk is bigger than the specifics, the 10.6 disk is DL.

Macs won't boot from a HD unless it's got the OS 'installed' on it.
I think it was on purpose.

On my 10.6 machine, I get all kinds of warnings that it won't run on 
safari.  QBonline was the first.  Lousy intuit junk.  10.6 does not 
solve the problem.



Take it to 10.6 and everything is all good.  That is what I am 
running on my macbook 1,1

[MBZ] OT Mac question

[Rich Thomas]

I have this Mac desktop (iMac is it called?) that supposedly has a 4 
core processor.  It has the system monitor you can turn on, see what 
things are going on.  I only see CPUs 1 and 3 ever with any activity in 
the little graphic for CPU Usage.  How would I know if CPUs 2 and 4 are 
actually functional?

In BSD and Linux, it's ifconfig. Probably has to be run as root, so
