Hi everyone,
I need to wipe my iMac and reinstall OS X Leopard. I have the install disks, but my CD drive doesn't work and can't read the disk.
Is there a way for me to wipe and install OSX Leopard without the disk?
Thanks.
iMac, iOS 5
No, but do you have another Mac with Firewire & a working Optical drive?

Hi BDAqua,
Yes I do. I've just bought a 2011 iMac with a working optical drive.
Can I use it to do the install then?
Many thanks,
Chris
You can turn the 2011 iMac into a Firewire Optical drive.
Put the Leo Install Disc into the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 iMac while holding t key to put it into FW Target Disk Mode, with a FW cable connect the the 2, boot older one holding Alt key, choose the Leo Install Disc to boot from. 🙂
