My SuperDrive is broken and OSX isn't loading. Gonna need to do an archive and install from the install discs but I am gonna need a disc drive to run the CD's on. What kind of cable do I need here and what command is it? Thanks for your help.
Got a tip for us?

Not sure about this process but if you have access to another mac then you could try Target Disc Mode with a firewire cable connecting the two computers. The computer should show up as a drive on the other computer and select that as the destination for the install.
You might also be able to do this by using the Remote Install Mac OS X found in your utilities however this will take a while longer as it uses a WIFI network to do the install.
