Install Panther PPC for external hard drive on Mac Intel

I have an old iMac G3 333 MHz, 192 MB of RAM. No firewire, no DVD. I updated its 120 GB hard drive, made 2 partitions (a 7, for the system 77 GB) and installed OS 10.1. I replaced the PRAM Battery (the clock is not reset on reboot) and the firmware is up-to-date.

Now I want to upgrade the system to OS X 10.3 Panther (to try to use the WiFi adapter that uses only the drivers OS X 10.3), but there is some kind of problem with the installation. The installation discs are read perfectly on iMac in point 10.1, when I start to install it under the current operating system, it starts after the reboot, but after it's the consistency of hard drive check, it seems to freeze, it shows progress maybe a single pixel on the progress bar (expected about an hour or two (, no change). I checked the disk with disk utility, and that's okay. And when I try to boot from the CD directly (holding C) it's light gray screen with the Apple logo and the circle of dashes thing and freezes.

So I thought that the solution might be to take the iMac hard drive, plug it into my MacBook Pro (early 2011) as external USB disk and install Panther on it. The fine wire work, I can read/write HD on MacBook Pro iMac, but Setup cannot start because it is assumed for PPC computers, while my MacBook Pro is based on Intel of course...

Is there a way to install OS X supposed to PPC on the external drive to the Mac to Intel processor? Or maybe there are other ways to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!

The solution is to understand why it does not work (as it should) while the drive is installed in the iMac.  You do not have to operate using the MacBook, because it cannot run the software for Mac PowerPC.

Is Panther drive installing a retail disk?  In other words, a drive sold separately in a box for all models taken Mac supported.  NOT a disc that came with a specific Mac model.  If I remember, the detail for Panther disc is black with a big X silver, and it's an disc enabled, not only a single disc.  If you have a gray disk, it's a disc that came with a specific Mac model, and it may not work with your iMac.

    BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

    Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

  • Can I install Firefox on an external hard drive?

    To save space on my C drive, I would like to install it on an external hard drive. So I downloaded the installer, but it automatically installs on my drive C. is there a solution to this? Danielle

    Yes, you can install Firefox on another drive, but the 'big' of the Firefox files will end up on the drive that contains the operating system AppData folder. As the browsing history and saved bookmarks accumulates, the ratio comes from 10 to 1 or more.

    Is there a download driver usb as a microsoft? My external USB gives an error message about the dysfunction of the usb driver...

    Most likely, it is a misleading message.  Most external hard drives do not require a special USB driver.  But check out the website of the manufacturer of the drive.

  • Install Vista from an external hard drive

    My girlfriend has a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium on it. She has the Dell installation disk, but its optical drive does not work. My laptop HP with an optical drive that works and I used to copy the installation on an external hard drive Seagate disc.

    I want to do a clean install of Vista on Dell sound. Can I just start directly from the folder on the external drive? How can I go about it?

    If your external drive is connected via usb the computer cannot start.  The computer does not scan for a bootable hard drive usb bus.  In addition, if you just copy the disk the file is not bootable.  She needs fix his optical drive if it is faulty.  If it works, you affect the optical drive as the device higher in the boot order in the BIOS Setup.  If you do not have the experience to do this take the computer in a store.

    Hello and welcome!

    A new HDD may not formatted or partitioned as they won't know if you're going to use it on a Mac or Windows.

    When you connect the hard drive to your PC, Windows should have led you to format the drive.

    If not, click Start > search for create and Format hard disk permissions > then right-click on your external hard drive and select another format or create a new volume.

  • 0x8078012D error code when you back up the new pc for external hard drive

    I have a brand new HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium desktop/8 GB memory/1 terabyte hard drive. Just hung up 3 days ago, and after installing my software, attempted to perform a full backup with the image of a brand new Toshiba Canvio 500 GB external hard drive. I get 0x8078012D error code, without interruption.  I did a check on the external hard drive disk, and it was good. I did a check for virus on the external hard drive, and that was good. I have triple checked the settings for backup and they are as I want them to be. -What is the Toshiba external hard drive or my bad nine HP desktop computer?  I had to call HP tech support yesterday as 2 programs, I had already installed has stopped working, but also Java and Adobe Flash Player. HP technical support was not only bad in his work, but right has supported up and hard with me and talked to me. I told her to give me control of my computer and down the phone that I reported him. He wrecked settings that I had, I did a system restore on the eve of the appellant, which was day 2 of owning the new pc.

Return the pc?  Return the Toshiba Canvio?  I'm in debt $650 for these 2 pieces of metal. Help please!

    Hello

    The error would have occurred if the services related to backup Windows could have been disabled. This can also occur due to other security software installed on the computer.

    Y at - it a third-party security software installed on the computer?

    I suggest you to check if the services are running and in manual mode.

    You can follow the methods:

    Method 1:

    Follow the steps to check if services are running. If not, restart them and check if that helps:

    (a) click Start.

    (b) type Services in the start search.

    (c) in the Services window, search for the shadow copy volume.

    (d) right click on the Service.

    (e) click Properties.

    (f) select Start on ManualType.

    (g) click OK.

    (h) now repeat the same steps for Windows backup service as well.

    Check if you find the same error trying to save using the hard disk. If Yes, proceed to method 2.

    Method 2:

    I suggest to temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps. Check out the link to do so:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    It will be useful.

    Just reply to us with the results. We will be happy to help you.

  • Install lr on and external hard drive or on the local drive?

    Hi again.

    Someone at - it thoughts on installing the LR2 program on an external hard drive to store all the pictures and projects about it too so.  If you do this you just plug the external hard drive into any pc or laptop and have your program and photos with you, even when you're traveling?  If I had to do this where would be the best place to put a back up of all my work to?  the local drive or dvd?   Ive not heard of people doing this, so I wonder if this isn't a good way to do.  Most often, I hear of just using the external dirve for one rear device.

    Thanks for any ideas

    Randy

    Yes, in the application of the LR of the internal (boot-generally that it is starting, which is) is the way to go. There is little difference in safety if your images and your catalogs are on an internal or external: you must have a backup of the image and the .lrcat files. It is much easier on the hard drives on removable media.

    Last year, I bought a USB HDD external 320.

    This external HARD drive is protected by a password. I have never changed the password, so the drive has the original password.

    I didn't use the disc about 6 months and now I put music in my iPod, but I don't remember the password. I know it is 1234 or certain numbers like that, but I can't access my disk :-(

    Everyone knows the original password Toshiba for hard drives?

  • implementation of the letters for external hard drives

    I have a new external hard drive and when I plug it, the computer will beep, but when I open my computer, there is no indication of the letter where the external hard disk and I can't open it to see or access what is on it. He worked for some time as E drive but I can no longer access disc can someone give me a simple solution? Thanks for any help.

    I'm not an expert, but I did something similar a few times.  I remember well, I clicked on computer (in the Start Menu), selected to manage, which took me to the computer (via the "C:\Windows\System32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe" command line) Management Console.

    I hope that, when you select disk management from the Console (near the bottom of the menu under storage), you will see a list of your external drives.  Just right click on any player to get a menu which includes 'change drive... letter and access paths. ».    (You know to avoid the 'Format' unless you ready for it.)
