downloaded windows installer 'remote install mac os x' software , installed that.

here's when things went wrong.

after running 'remote install mac os x' application on pc, followed through straightforward steps (including choosing install disc , network connection use). rebooted macbook , held down alt/option key led new screen.


read in instructions of 'remote install...' application, option choose network should have appeared under start-up disk. didn't.

option given select start-up hard drive on macbook , resume normal bootup. i've been stuck on ever since , need further advice on should do.

buying external hard drive or replacing superdrive last resort options since i'd find (free solution) problem. help?
