CReating a boot Leopard install drive from a dvd

[iLLuMiNaTiCa]

Hi people

I use a MacBook Pro 17 Core2 and i want to be able to install Leopard from my Hard Drive instead of a DVD.

Now i made a DMG file of the DVD, verified and all., But when i try to RESTORE the Leopard Image to the drive with Disk Utilities i get error 2 or 16.

I am using a Firewire 320GB HD.

Can anyone advise a step by step way to get this done so i can Boot "Leopard installer" from my external HD?

Cheers

I think you'd just use "Backup - all files" from the DVD to a volume on your drive, but as I recall recent DVDs have complained that they need to run from the 'original media'.

i only have the DMG file here, any ideas?

You could try opening the DMG and copying from its volume to the drive.

ok how do you do this?

I am assuming i simply mount the DMG and then clone it to a HARD drive?

That's right. Open the DMG, then select its volume in the source pop-up, the destination you want, and "Backup - all files" with Smart Update or Erase, then copy.
