How do I install the Leopard OS from a clone backup?

I just bought a WD 160GB My Passport Essential (USB) external hard drive.
My goal is to partition the external hard drive so it holds the following:
1. clone of the Leopard OS disks
2. Leopard OS installed from the clone
3. Time Machine backups
I formatted the external hard drive to a HFS extended (journaled) format and created 3 partitions, each as a GUID disk.
My Macbook is intel based and came with 2 Leopard OS install disks (Macbook OS X Install Disk 1 and Macbook OS X Install Disk 2).
I was able to create a clone of the 2 install disks and restored both images onto the external hard drive partition I named "Leopard OS Disk Clone."
I rebooted my back so it boot from the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition located on my external hard drive, to test the clone out. I clicked on the "Install Mac OS and Bundled Software" file on the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition and started to install the OS on the "Leopard OS" partition on the external hard drive.
During the installation a message appeared instructing me to put the Mac OS Install Disk 2 into the mac.
My problem is Install Disk 2 is on the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition and there is no way to tell the installer program the location of disk 2.
How do I install the Leopard OS on my external hard drive partition if both Install Disk 1 and Install Disk 2 are on my "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm no expert, but I don't think you can do that.
Everything I've done (not a whole lot) and read here says you make a bootable clone from a running system (usually your internal HD).
You can then boot directly from the clone, either by changing the Startup Disk in System Preferences, or by holding a particular key (I forget which one just now) while powering-up, to get the option of booting from any connected bootable volume found.
Hopefully one of the experts will confirm or deny (I'd like to know for sure, too!).

How can I install the Dreamweaver 8 from my CS2 Creative suite?

When I originally installed my Adobe programs for CS2 about 5 years ago, I did not at that time install the dreamweaver from the CD. Now I'm trying to download it, but it will not accept the serial number from the suite (Dreamweaver 8 was still from Macromedia back then, but was part of the Suite) so I am unable to activate the program.I'm using hp pavillion a 1430n w Windows XP-Media Center edition. My Serial number is a series of 6 four digit numbers. The activation site will not accept nearly that many numbers, nor does it accept them in four digit combinations. Any suggestions ?

If the serial number from the CS2 Premium suite is not working with the install, there is not much you can do at this point. You can try to uninstall the whole suite and this time install all of the applications at once. But you then risk the other applications.
Your only other option is to pay the upgrade from CS2 to CS4. Adobe, unlike Macromedia, does not restrict educational users from upgrading. All they ask is that you pay the full retail upgrade price and they will allow you to have your license converted from a student license to a commercial license that will allow you to keep upgrading. Or if you are still a student, you can opt to buy the new student release.
Based on what I was able to look up online about your system, it meets the requirements for CS4 as long as you have upgraded to SP2/3 of XP.

How can we install the Java Plugin from the html page

Hi,
I am using java plugin 1.3.1_02 for my applet pages.
How can I install that plugin in the client machine without installing manually.
I used,
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="600" height="400" align="middle"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,1,2">
<PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="SignedAppletDemo.class">
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="SSignedApplet.jar">
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
</OBJECT>
But it is downloading java plugin 1.3.1_03.
Can anybody help me
Thanks & Regards
Raja

Using object tags is the correct way and only way to download the plugin and let the client decide whether he can download it r not. There is no way to install automatically
I dont think there is a way to install automatically without a user intervention coz, it can open the floodgates for potential hackers.
Can u cite an example about which programs can be installed automatically and why do u want the plugin to be installed automatically?
ciao

For the other software I don't know, look at the sytem requirements and choose to download accordingly.

You will need to purchase one. Since that is now an obsolete product I don't know if Apple still has the original discs, but you can call them and ask:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes
international calling numbers.
You can also purchase Snow Leopard from the online Apple Store:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

Hi.
You simply can't. Snow Leopard is compiled in Intel binary only.
Good Luck.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

*'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

Hi
I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

Thanks for the response. My system is Windows 7 with a painfully slow ATT
high speed connection.
I got the "Cloud" including CS6 , yesterday,after a chat with a nice Indian
fellow who called me back from Bombay. Surprisingly he was looking forward
to Thanksgiving too but probably because he gets a day off.
I now have the Adobe Premiere Pro loaded (it took nine hours) and
installed. Now I'm starting the tutorials.
Hopefully I'll be editing soon.
Thanks again

Sounds like you downloaded the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update or Combo Update. Neither will work on a version of OS X prior to OS X Mavericks. Those are only used to update an existing install of OS X Mavericks. The Combo will update any version from 10.9.0 thru 10.9.4. The Update will only update version 10.9.4.
You need the full installer of OS X Mavericks from the App Store. However, the App Store no longer offers OS X Mavericks. Yosemite is the new FREE OS X.

Follow the instructions here. Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
Once the app is available ...
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
