[QUOTE="moxey, post: 1407801, member: 231780"] Hello people, I was thinking about trying to replace my main HD of 80gb, to a larger 500gb drive with a faster rpm. My only concern is how am I going to reinstall my OS x 10.5 Leopard on to the new drive? my DVD drive has stopped working (so I can't boot with the disk.) and I've looked in to using a 8gb USB stick with the OS X on it, but I saw something about it can only boot from a Firewire port? as the USB is bus 1. Any ideas on what I could do? [/QUOTE]
