| 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 ==
| |
|
| |
| # Create a dmg-image of the Installation disc using [http://www.bombich.com/software/index.html Carbon Copy Cloner]
| |
| # Open Disk Utility and pick the external drive from the menu on the left to put the image on
| |
| # Go to the Restore tab and click Select and find the dmg-image
| |
| # Second, drag the external hard drive icon from the list on the left to the Destination field
| |
| # Check Erase drive and click Restore, after a few moments the image will be successfully dumped to the drive
| |
| # Once done, shutdown and replace the old system drive with a new one if necessary and press power to start-up
| |
| # Hold the Option key (between CMD and CTRL) to enable the boot screen where the available boot drives will show up
