yup I did read his articles , and indeed did a search on ebay/amazon for "snow leopard"


lots of ebay ones said "not for intel"


also as times progress , a cd/dvd drives are not the norm now , I was wondering how/if you could put that Idrive and snow leopard on pendrives without access to a mac




I will go back and do some more research tho ,

pappa_golf

I,m sorry , grub only means something you eat


I just need the distructions on that website but updated to modern USB pendrives instead of burning to CD

well the situation is like this


wife came home with a 500g portable drive that a woman at the gym had handed to her , she had deleted the full contents (wedding/holiday etc) photos + a lot of letters


she said that she had been quoted many hundreds of £ for recovery


I ran recuva on it and recovered over 20,000 photos plus files , I backed them up to my nas , then separated them and copied them back in directories


I tried to ring her but had wrong number , so went to her works and dropped it off , jokingly saying 10p per photo , 20p for a MOV file and 7p for a MP3 , her husband the boss came over and was impressed , and opened his wallet . I said give me £20 for my time.


2 hrs later I got a call from him , he owns a vinyl cutting company (A boards and signs) and explained that one customer sends him files from signlab and other proggys from a mac and one of the blokes has to take them home (he has a mac) and convert them


he has asked me if I can convert a machine to mac , I have a nice budget to play with and can supply my parts if needed.




so a: its to get knowledge , and b: make a few bob .
