Im trying to install snow leopard on my macbook. It has a broken disk drive so using a disk is out of the question. I also dont want to pay for an 8gb flash drive, external hard drive, or anything else.
I got the install onto my mac by putting it in my other PC and splitting it up into 700 mb parts with WinRar. I put each part on my 1gb flash drive and transfered it to the mac one at a time. My problem is that at the very beginning of the install, it asks for a reboot so it can boot from the disk. Of course, I cant do this because I just have the dmg file on the computer. So if anybody could maybe tell me how to hack the dmg and get into the install without rebooting maybe.
This is what I considered
1. Hacking the dmg to get to the install without reboot
2. Putting the dmg on my ipod touch, though I know you cant boot from one.
3. Maybe getting JUST the small install file to put on my 1gb flash drive?
This is what I can't do
1. Buy another drive or anything else that cost money
2. Use remote install from the PC because I dont have a MacBook Air.
