You will have to use some type of dvd that is working unless you can get a hold of an image file of the installer it self. Other then that your gonna be SOL.

Hey there – ok, so I can get as far as mounting and seeing the remote disc from my MacBook but the problem is, I need to reinstall OS X and my drive is busted. When I launch the installer remotely it restarts my MacBook but doesn’t start the install. It just takes me back to the desktop.

Do you know how I can get past this?

thanks!

Yes if your using it to connect from a Windows based machine you will need to install “Remote Install Mac OS X” application it is located in your Utilities folder. This will allow you to do the same thing on a Windows machine as it does on your Mac.

Hope that helps you out.

Hi, thanks for your tutorials. However I have a question. I have tried remote disc thing in terminal and rebooted. And it is mounted (shown) in finder sidebar … but when i click on it it doesn’t open the contents of the actual disk on another computer. When i do connect to server I can approach the same CD but not via remote disc icon?!?
I should mention I am trying to connect to the XP dvd-drive!
Does that change something?
Thank you … and as always you are of much help with your tips.
