No, this is not related to the MacBook Air. To install Mac OS X into a MacBook Air is much simpler, as Apple provides its users with an app called “Remote Install Mac OS X.” This app does not work with other Macs as far as I know.
We’re going to try something different, and it’s also rather easy to do. But why do this you might ask? Well, lets say you have a second Mac that does have a disc drive, but it doesn’t work for any reason. You may not want to buy a disc drive for it since you don’t need to. Although you may want to upgrade the computer to the latest Mac OS X.
Hardware Requirements
First you need to make sure both Macs have Firewire ports, and that you have a 6 to 6 pin Firewire cable so you can connect both ends to each Mac. Next, make sure you have a spare Hard Drive lying around. If the Mac with the non-broken disc drive has two Firewire ports, you can use an external Firewire drive. I believe this works with USB drives, but was not able to test it.
Software Requirements
Why did I use this?
Well I have a Mac Pro now, my older computer is a G5, and it doesn’t have a working disc drive. I wanted to do a fresh Mac OS X Leopard install for it, but didn’t want to buy a new drive. So this is what I was able to do, and it worked great. Plus I had a 6 to 6 pin Firewire cable, and a 100GB Hard Drive lying around.
