Hi guys,

having some trouble here installing DVS on my netbook.
Since it doesn´t have a cd-drive, i thought copying the cd to a usb-drive would work but it doesn´t.
Is there something i have to do to make this work?
My other laptop is a mac and i dont seem to be able to access it´s drive via the local network as well...

any ideas asides buying an external drive?

Check if there is software for the mac that allows to create an image of the installation CD which you can copy (it is just a *.iso file) to your netbook where you can open it with deamon tools if it is a win netbook what I guess I do not know if deamon tools exists for mac, if so this would be your choice

Cheers,

Steve

Thx steve,

helpful as usual
Now i know what to do, but it might take some more time
(not having used Win in over 5 years, it´s driving me mad )

After an hour of trying i figured it doesn´t work....
it´s not possible to "burn" an .iso on the mac.

Oh boy, looks like i need an external cd-drive.

give me some minutes, I will do a research

HA! There you go:

"Erstellen einer Image-Datei zum Übertragen oder Sichern von Informationen
Sie können mit dem Festplatten-Dienstprogramm eine Image-Datei eines einzelnen Geräts, Ordners oder Volumes erstellen."

Oh sorry, it is in german! Let me translate:

"Creating an image for transferring or saving informations
You can use the harddisk-service-tool to build an image of a device, folder or a compelte volume."

What you want to do is creating an image of a device (mac's internal cd/dvd drive). If it is an *.iso you can use daemon tools on your win system to open the image

Hope this works for you

Cheers,

Steve

Oh, made it work

in one desperate attempt i just change the filename from .dmg to .iso and it works

How stupid can one possibly be?

Alright - brilliant idea!!! Glad that it works!!!!

Steve

Not shure about the structure of DVS( updates overlaying the original install) check the search function in the fourm about netbooks and install, remember a posting about the same situtation and i think the solution came as being able to download the program from mixvibes via internet. like the new improved feature of the fourm updating posting before you submit a posting makes this suggestion null and void

well,
wouldnt call it a brilliant idea, but....it works.

For anyone on mac, just use the disk-utility (festplatten-dienstprogramm) to "burn" the image to a usb-drive, and then rename it from mixvibes.dmg to mixvibes.iso. and it´ll run on your win-machine.

cheers.

good info for tips and tutorials under said topic,a a little more work and the job will be done and the k can appear
