Hi guys,
I've decided it's about time to reinstall Leopard. It's been just over a year and so I feel it's about time to get that fresh new feel. Only problem is that my superdrive on my macbook (White, 2.16, 2Gb) is dead.
My question is, how can I go about installing Leopard?
I have no other macs in the house. Can I do it via remote disc with a PC?
I've heard about mounting the disc to an external HDD and booting from that, but my USB ports also seem to be dead, so at the moment eject any external HDD automatically after 10 minutes or so (my poor mac is dying!! )
Can I do it via a Firewire external HDD? I dont have one of these, but may be able to get my hands on one.
I dont have an external disc drive.
So, many problems to block various roots. Right now I'm thinking that doing it via remote disc would be easiest, but im not sure if this is possible or not?
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Luke
