Is there any way to reset my installation of OSX without using the CDs? My Superdrive is broken, but I'm selling my iBook on, and need to do a clean install on the drive.

Thanks!
 
You need some bootable medium to access Disk Utility, which would enable you to wipe the drive, then again, some bootable medium to re-install the OS.

If you have another mac, you can restore the disc image to that mac, then install the OS to the iBook from that image. Though I think partitioning would be involved (Unless you have an iPod you can use as a temp external HDD).

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
