Hey everyone. My MacBook install is dead. System ran so slow, hard drive was fine but just eventually died. I did archive and install which worked but all the apps were not functioning so I did a system update which just killed it and would only boot to single user mode. I tried reinstalling over top my installation but now it keeps failing. I have an external USB drive and when I worked as a Mac Genius, we used to install OS X to them to boot up on and do backup and such. For some reason, it won't let me install to the drive, just says can't be installed on this volume. I assume it's because I'm using my MacBook's restore DVDs? Or is it something else? If this is the case, is there any way to do an install to my USB hard drive using restore DVDs somehow? And yes intel Macs can boot from USB so I know that's not the problem. Thanks!
Update: Not sure how to delete a post, but I think I might have forgot to use GUID partitioning, I'll try that and see!
