Snow Leopard For My Pc Mac Book Air

I do have access to a Mac Book Air with the latest OS.but no dvd-drive.

Do you have any suggestion other than buy an external dvd-drive I did not use dvd for years, external usb drives are more suitables for my needs.

I have a new machine, the MacBook AIr (no dvd), but why do i have to scrap the older one It can be useful for other member of my family I already have plenty of DVD-drive onand from old PCs, they never broke like those on the Mac.

Why should i spend anymore money for something ive already paid for.

Plus it would be needed by whoever uses the older Mac to reinstall the OS, or other software only available on disks.

So get one. Your older Mac is fairly useless with a broken drive.

On Macs and PCs. Theyre mechanical devices, and any such type of device eventually fails.

Its nothing the least bit unusual to have one hard drive of a particular brand go bad in just weeks, and another one of the same make and model to last for years.

Why should i spend anymore money for something ive already paid for Are you kidding Do you think any manufactured item should last forever Well, Im going back to my auto dealer right now to demand a new car because the one I paid for 12 years ago, with 180,000 miles on it is worn out The nerve of them selling me something that will break and wear out.

Disk Utility will allow you to convert a disk into a disk image.

That disk image can be restored to another volume in Disk Utility.

Otherwise find another Mac user who can read the DVD to make the image.

In theory remote disc should allow you to skip all this share the disk from the PC DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc - Apple Support That could allow the Macbook Air to create the disc image which you then image onto a USB drive to make the bootable OS.

Snow Leopard For My Pc How To Create A

See the 10.6 instructions for how to create a bootable installer e-usb-to-install-os-x.

Since you have no intention of replacing the broken internal drive, they will need the external drive to do that from either the original 10.5.x Leopard disks, or the 10.6.x Snow Leopard disk.

You cant install the OS on any computer and presume you are done with it from then until eternity.

I still fill my gas tank without having to buy a new reservoir cap.

So youre going to ignore the incredibly obvious, and completely spelled out point I made that things wear out.

Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing: DVD movies.

Audio CDs. Copy protected discs such as game discs.

Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.

Burn a CD or DVD To use the above mentioned discs with a computer without an optical drive, use the MacBook Air SuperDrive or the Apple USB SuperDrive.

For assistance with remote installing Mac OS X v10.6 or earlier, refer to Reinstalling software using Remote Install Mac OS X.

On the second link i need to have a working optical drive because Snow Leopard is not installed yet on my old MacBook.

Finally, i will try your first solution: Book a genius bar appointment, take your DVD to the Apple store, ask them to create a disk image from it and a bootable USB disk from the DVD (you would need 2 USB sticks for this).

I can update my MacBookAir from a PC-drive, why cant i do the same with my old MacBook.
