Thanks Fyrke. I dunno what i'm going to do. This article suggests that I will lose data when installing Leopard to my FW drive http://byronmiller.typepad.com/byronmiller/2007/11/loading-leapoar.html "Rather than trying to repartition the drive during installation, I chose to do it in OS X...

Thanks to you both for the tips...but...Yikes! Will formating the drive in this manner erase everything that is currently on it? I do not want to risk losing the data on my firewire...also I would be attempting to install Leopard from a .dmg on the very same firewire. I don't understand if this...

Hello, I've got a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11. I have a .dmg of Leopard on a Firewire drive. I would like to try running Leopard from the Firewire drive as an experiment. So, Tiger and my local HD would be the primary means of booting, but i'd like to be able to choose to boot Leopard from...

hmmh. Thanks to both Tommo and Jesse714. btw, I believe what i have is retail as it is ~7GB in size whereas the combo update is ~700M. I am intrigued by the suggestion to reinstall the 10.4.11 combo update though to see if that fixes my crashing probs...I am downloading it now. How do I go...

Thanks Fryke. I was thinking to call Steinberg before I attempt an upgrade. I have a DMG file called Mac.OSX.Leopard.V10.5.6-HOTiSO; not sure if it is the combo updater or retail. I bought my powerbook refurb'd and it didn't come with an installation disk. In light of all the app crashes lately...

Hi Everyone, I currently have a PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz 2GB RAM 167Mhz bus. In the process of troubleshooting a minor problem, I was instructed to delete some .plist files. Since then, I am experiencing application crashes which seem to be related to the video card? QuickTime crashes every time I...
