I want to install a fresh OS Mac OS X 10.5 on iBook G4 but its DVD is showing BUS error. Now i have decided to use a USB for doing the same. I have heard that the USB should be GPT . I have made it using DISKPART under windows and then i use Transmac to restore the DMG of Mac the GPT portion vanishes !!!
The other thing to remember with Leopard, you must get the original retail disc. That's discussed in more detail on this user tip:

When the internal DVD drive fails, you must get a Firewire external DVD drive. USB will not work. USB will not work. USB will not work.
