[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1113508, member: 38864"] Umm… umm… ah…. aww shoot. I think you're right. *smacks heads* Here's a tip that will make any external Firewire or USB drive a bootable install drive on Intel Macs. It might work with a PPC Mac, but make one change in the directions… don't use GUID Partition Table… pick Apple Partition Map. Other option would be to get an external Firewire DVD drive. Of course you could just replace the drive in your PowerBook. You can order one from iFixit and use their handy-dandy repair guide, if you are up to the task of doing it yourself.
