How do I install Tiger on a 2nd Internal Drive?

As nice as some of Leopard's features are, it's too bug ridden for me in its current state. It lives on my primary drive, and I would like to do a fresh install of Tiger (retail) on my second internal drive. How would I go about accomplishing this? Should I press C when booting with the Tiger disc in the drive? I'm assuming that I'll be able to access all my files and applications on the Leopard drive when done. Is that a safe assumption?

So, when I boot off the install DVD it will give me the choice as to which drive to install to? I will remember the clone thing for the next OS release, that's for sure...

  • Installing boot camp on 2nd internal drive on MacPro

    I have a Mac Pro that came with 2 hard drives built in. Can I install bootcamp on the second internal hard drive? Right now it's totally blank. I just want to leave my main mac hard drive as only mac stuff.

    Yes, you can. I have 4 hard drives on my Mac Pro and have given the entire 4th drive to Windows.
    You don't say what you plan to install on that bootcamp partition on your 2nd drive, but if it is some version of Windows you will likely have to use your Windows install disk to format the partition.

  • How do I install Tiger on an external hard drive?

    I want to load and run apps from a second external hard drive.
    Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction to get information on how to load tiger 10.4 on a second external hard drive?
    Thanks,

    There is always a chance of screwing up and crashing. Always have at least two copies of your data at all times as my FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    As for switching between drives, use the startup manager:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
    or the Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Startup Disk.
    Note you will get a brief flashing question mark folder at startup if the external drive is not attached, and you didn't go back to System Preferences to reset the startup disk to the internal the previous boot.

  • How do install Tiger from an external USB drive?

    I'm trying to upgrade from 10.2.8 to Tiger. How do I install Tiger from my external USB DVD drive? Tiger only comes on DVD and my G4 only has a CD ROM as an internal drive. Is there a way to boot from an external USB DVD drive?

    bamim2,
    you obviously just cracked some known hardware restrictions that not even Apple knew how to do: Don't start up from an external USB device.
    The procedure you described is the standard procedure for the startup manager. However, as Apple's article explains this does NOT work with USB-devices on PowerPC (G3, G4, G5) based Macs.

  • How do I install Tiger on a Mini

    I have a 2009 Mac Mini which came with Leopard, I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and am very unhappy with this OS. Can and if so how do I install Tiger?
    I have tried inserting the Tiger install disc and everything freezes up!

    Phooey! I was afraid of that.
    I'm afraid my wife and I are getting old and set in our ways. The loss of the "Home" folder in he Dock, the new appearance of Safari and Google, and many of the "new" features expanded our learning curve beyond it's limits. My wife is legally blind and uses a 37" display with magnification and voice-over. Navigating a new screen has been very difficult. Besides, I can not find a feature in Leopard or Snow Leopard that makes a change worthwhile.
    I may have to dig out her eMac!

    My Powerbook had some problems recently, the HDD and the Superdrive where gone. I replaced the HD but can not get Tiger installed here because the DVD drive isn't working. I boot right now from a FW HD. Any Ideas how to install the OS on the internal drive?

    I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

  • How do I install Mountain Lion on a thumb drive?

    How do I install Mountain Lion on a thumb drive when my computer is running Mavericks? I downloaded the Mountain Lion installer, but when I attempt to run it I get a message that says "You cannot install OS X 10.8 on this computer." I don't want to install it on the computer, I want to install it on the thumb drive—but it won't give me a choice of drives.
    The reason I want to do this is I want to be able to boot my iMac into Mountain Lion in order to test a hardware/software combination I suspect might be incompatible with Mavericks.
    (Note: there are plenty of instructions online for how to create a bootable thumb drive with the Mountain Lion installer, but that's not what I want. I want to install ML on the thumb drive itself.)

    Sure you have a proper installer application. When I start it I get:
    Clicking on Continue, then accepting the licensing stuff, gets me to:
    If you click on Show All Disks, then all mounted disks will be presented including your flash drive.
    Now the above is a Mavericks installer, but it's the same for Mountain Lion.

  • How do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?????

    how do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?

    I don't know if this will work; it will certainly not create a "portable" Adobe Reader.
    But it may install on the flash driver, to be used only on the computer that installed it.
    Download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    On the Reader setup panel, click on 'Change Destination Folder' and select your flash drive.
    Let us know how that goes; I am curious...

  • How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
    Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?

  • If I want to install Lions on a 2nd hard drive in my MacPro Desktop, will it allow me to do so if I have Leopard installed on the boot drive?

    I have a blank 2nd hard drive that I am going to install in my MacPro desktop. The boot drive already contains the Leopard operating system. I want to install Lions on the blank hard drive. Will setup in Lions when it comes out, allow me to install Lions onto the 2nd hard drive since it should detect that I have a valid Apple operating system on the boot drive?

    You can first install Snow Leopard then re-download Lion. Or you saved the original installer application then created a bootable Lion installer on a USB flash drive or DVD. Or you buy Apple's $69.00 USB flash installer.
