I have an Aluminum Power Book G4 15" 1.67 Ghz. I'm not sure which OS is on it. I have purchased it from a buddy and the thing has issues which is why I got it for next to nothing. It will load to the desktop but I can't see anything (please don't try and diagnose, I've spent hours on here already doing that).
I got the retail version of leopard and wanted to do a clean install of the OS. After an hour on the phone with Apple, we've come to the conclusion that the disc drive is bad and I am unable to boot from it.
And Finally.....to the question....
Can I boot from an external device? If I can't view the desktop and I can't boot from the cd drive cause the drive is bad.....how in the world can I do a re-install of the OS?
Any help is much appreciated....thanks!
