Installing Mac OS X from an iPod
By admin | November 20, 2008
This is a quick demonstration of installing Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) onto a Core Duo MacBook from a 30 GB 5G iPod. I no long have the Leopard disk image or OS on my hard drive. I will buy a genuine retail box copy in Jan. after MacWorld. I suggest everyone else do the same. I will NOT reply to any questions or comments in regard to this video. DON’T STEAL MAC OS X!

u can just burn XP to a cd or dvd
The only reason he used his ipod is because Leopard is over 4GB and a dvd can only hold 4

If you use your ipod to install it as a hard drive, how do I make it into a media player again?

10.2 is quite old and doesn’t have many features that the new ones have. He probably has 10.4 Tiger

This is not very good for the iPod’s Hard disk.
This is fine on a flash based iPod (Nano, Touch, etc), but it can shorten the life of your iPod’s hard drive.
