Hmmm..I have no idea about that. But you can try exchanging the internal harddisk and then do the installation.
Try to search in Google of how to disassemble the iMac. Do it at your own risk. Or wait for expert answers. |

QUOTE(djspinnet @ Oct 24 2007, 10:09 AM) You can actually. That helps. Basically, clone your current internal hard disk into your external drive (firewire) using any good backup software like SuperDuper! or something. After that's done, test that you can boot OS X off the external before wiping out your internal HDD to install Tiger. If all goes well, you're fine and good. If you want to do the internal HDD exchange, bear in mind it's not easy to DIY, and if you scratch any part inside your mac while exchanging the HDD, you may void your warranty. If you don't want to void your warranty and don't trust yourself to do a flawless, scratch-free job, take it to any Authorized Service Center like VR Technology and get the techs to do it for you. Won't void warranty, but costs RM100 install fee. Then, take back your original internal HD, put it into an external FW casing and boot off it.  I haven't try it externally. So, if we goes into the Mac OS X installation mode, can the external hard disk can be detacted in the Disk Utility? |
