Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

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

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. **Prior message:*** Yeah, I am following the instructions at:

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

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,

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

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. Dan > On Nov 16, 2015, at 4:49 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > I see

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

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

Snag an external DVD drive and go USB or Firewire. You can also use another mac to install it clay On Nov 16, 2015, at 2:34 AM, M. Mitchell Marmel via Mercedes wrote: > I'd like to upgrade my Mini to 10.8, but the DVD drive is shot. > Suggestions? > > -MMM- > > On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 4:27

[MBZ] A Mac question

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+

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

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

Re: [MBZ] A Mac question

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

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. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/
