ok so first off this is my first time using this forum, so I apologize in advance if I have posted in the wrong section.
I have a 2007 model Macbook (NON PRO) 13 inch that came with Leopard 10.5 disc 1 and disc 2.
**I am doing this via USB FLASH DRIVE because my cd drive is broken and will not read discs.
I tried to install leopard 10.5 disc 1 through my sandisk flash drive 16gb. it all went through ok with the installation process but then it asked me for disc 2. Unforunately I do not have disc 2 I lost it. I need to know is there a way to bypass/skip disc 2 step so that I can complete the installation.
***after I was stuck I did try to install SNOW LEOPARD 10.6 that my brother had on the flash drive and it worked but now its stuck on a gray screen and I read somewhere that it wont reboot properly because the first installation 10.5 was not completed with disc 2 since I do not have it.
at this point i do not know what to do. I dont know if I need to do 10.5 disc 1 again and then erase the flash drive then partition disc 2 on the flash drive then load the flash drive once it asks me to insert disc 2? I dont know the process of how to load the flash drive after that since it is not the disc...any suggestions?
**could I use my brother's macbook pro disc 2 and partition that to the flash drive and load it up when the "insert disc 2 screen pops up somehow" ? just an idea - really need my laptop so any suggestions would help at this point....
any help is appreciated i need my macbook back so bad. please help!
