If the optical drive is busted or you want to quickly install OS X, put the OS X Installation disc on a external hard drive and boot from that drive.

Steps

  1. Create a dmg-image of the Installation disc using NetRestore
  2. Open Disk Utility and pick the external drive to put the image on from the menu on the left
  3. Go to the Restore tab and click Select and find the dmg-image
  4. Second, drag the external hard drive icon from the list on the left to the Destination field
  5. Check Erase drive and click Restore, after a few moments the image will be successfully dumped to the drive
  6. Once done, shutdown and replace the old system drive with a new one if necessary and press power to start-up
  7. Hold the Option key (between CMD and CTRL) to enable the boot screen where the available boot drives will show up
  8. Select the Installation disc and follow the standard installation process
