Okay, I know this topic comes up again and again. I have seen many many many proposals but it does NOT look like anyone has actually gotten it to work. I have a slotloading iMac (no internal cd burner) which a friend of mine had given me. He has the original installer discs, somewhere, but I have a backup image of the installation (with my own personal files in there there) that resides on my Windows XP laptop. Sure enough, the installation on the Mac has become corrupt due to a stupid terminal error I've made. I cannot even boot to the desktop anymore.
So has anyone ever SUCCESSFULLY done this? Has anyone actually burned an OS X disc image to a cd/dvd on a WINDOWS machine, and had had it be bootable by their Macintosh? I've tried TransMac, MacDrive, and many others , and not one of them turned out bootable.
I have, however, created a bootable XBuntu disc for it! So this is very irritating.
Is there anyway to do this? Or maybe someone can think of another way to do reinstall the image, using Linux/eternal drives/partitioning etc etc?
