[QUOTE="minorsecond, post: 850464, member: 102234"] I'm having issues getting OSX back onto my macbook. I had to install Windows for a few programming classes I took last semester but now desperately want to go back. However, my optical drive is not working. So, I used a friends computer to make a backup of my installation disks and figured that I could copy them to a partition on my HDD and boot from that partition to install. I keep having problems getting it to boot from that partition though. I couldn't tell you the error message because the macbook is at my girlfriends. I'm currently trying to fix her screen (I have the S-Video adapter hooked up to my TV for now.) So I'll have to relay her the instructions over the phone. Anyway, I've tried googling and I can't seem to find instructions specific to my situation. Must I boot from an HFS partition or can it be FAT or NTFS? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
