I am so very near the point of inserting fatally sharpened, marble slabs into my eyes. I've tried everything that's out there… i think. I continue to read many post that claim the 1.67 GHz PowerBook G4 15" can indeed be booted from a USB device via open firmware, and these stories of success and triumph haunt me. Alas, I am not able to make my device boot-able. I have done all that i could–extracted and installed base and essential pkgs onto my drive, partitioned in APM, enabled owners and blessed the drive as boot-able. To no avail. Open firmware simply does not see the device. Devalias shows me nothing useful and the path i suspect is inching toward correct brings me to a NO ENTRY symbol. I throw my arms in the air friends, in desperation and failure. I miss sleep. Help me, please.

You can run mac on a PC, if you have the MAC LEOPARD DVD for Intel or AMD x64. Only you can install it in a external HDD but it doesn't work from USB's

What if I insert the OS X Tiger DVD (the one I have) into my Mac? Would it work?

So I used a 10.5.dmg that I used to burn to a DVD to install the OS. It's on the External HD and it shows at option-reboot. Problem is, once I click it, it just freezes. I've re-restored it like 10 times by now imo. Any ideas?

To get past the "no scan information", open Disk utility and go to images–> scan Image

And done ^^

Hey Volker Troll, how about you stfu? Google brings you to this article when searching for this specific subject. And there is very little information about this matter at all. There might be several pages, but it's all the same. Some people will be looking for specific answers and being able to post here was made to actually be able to share your questions. I cant find a single bit of usefulness in any of your threads, which just talks for itself. Stop breathing our air., it's just not worth it.
