Hey everyone,

I've been trying to install Windows on my MacBook next to OSX, however this is not as easy as it sounds, since I installed and uninstalled Windows before using Bootcamp. As you may or may not know, this (apparently) means that you have to reinstall OSX before you can do it again. Anyway, I've accepted that, so that's not the problem I am dealing with at the moment.

What I did is save my Snow Leopard 10.6.4 as an image on an external hard disk, using Disk Utility. This way I can keep all my files and software and it shouldn't cost me as much time as re-installing a brand new Snow Leopard. However, to use this image, I need to start up my MacBook with the Snow Leopard DVD, and that's exactly my problem. Currently I'm staying in China and my DVD is back in the Netherlands... (call me foolish, but that's how it is).

Final question: Is it possible to make a startup DVD of Snow Leopard OSX, so I can get my OSX fixed with that DVD and the image on my external hard disk?

Or am I just getting way too much into this mess... :p Seems like such a hassle just to run some Windows apps (and yes Parallels is nice but I also want to run some heavier apps).

Thanks in advance guys! Any help is greatly appreciated ;)
