    OS X Defrag FAT32 utility

    Do you access this external drive with any Windows computers? If not, remove the data, and reformat it with OS X.

    osx tiger

    Even if you are buying Tiger, you can legally install and run any version below that one. Check on eBay for anyone selling Jaguar (10.3). Also, check at your local school system. If they buy Macs like we do, they have hundreds of system disks and should be able to sell you (give?) a 10.3 Disk to...

    Mac osx 10.3 stalls on boot

    If you can't boot, you can't run the disk utility on the local computer, and it can then only "repair permissions" on the boot/system drive anyway. Boot from your OS restore disks, don't run installation, instead when you reach the "continue installation" screen go to file, and launch disk...
