  • Hi there,

    I have a problem trying to setup the dmg.

    I did what did article said. However, Once I open Startup Disk, I cannot see my USB HD with the Mac OS X Leopard...I only can see a folder with Mac OS X 10.4 and Network Startup.

    Did I do something wrong?

    I have a PPC G5 Dual 2GHz and 2 HD + this USB HD I want to use for the Leopard installation.

    Your help could be very useful!! thanks!!

  • Thank you very much... ehm It's true: nobody think to the simplest things! :-)
  • you said that i must Copy my dmg file to my current apple desktop , but what i must do if my disk was formated
  • You will have to use another computer to either burn the dmg to a DVD or an external hard drive.
  • I’m having a bit of a problem, maybe you will be able to help.

    I have two hdds installed and a dmg of leopard.

    I go into the disk utility, and try to use the restore feature with no luck.

    I get either an error one, or an error 16, both telling me the copy failed.

    Today, I purchased a 500gb firewire drive to try to get it to work. No luck, same error.

    When I try to do the same think on my macbook, (I am trying to install leopard on my powermac running osx 10.3 )
    When I do it on my macbook, it begins to copy files, and works for several minutes, and then I get an error stating: could not restore, operation not supported.

    What am I doing wrong? Any insight?

    I have a dl burner available to me.

    I have my original osx leopard install disks that came with my macbook.

    Any suggestions?
  • Sounds like your DMG of leopard is corrupted.
  • Hey, I have a question.

    If I restore the dmg to an external device, will I still be able to use that device? I mean, will it be able to do it's intended purpose once this is all said and done?

    I'm only asking because I was going to use my digital 8-track recorder as the device, but I want to still be able to record my music with it after. Restoring a dmg to it isn't going to make it inoperable afterwards, will it?

    Thanks for any help
  • I think you can later use the erase in disk utlity to reformat it again
