If you have a disk drive on both the imac and laptop then just burn the iso (installation media) to a dvd.

Steps to burn an iso to DVD on an imac:

- Open the “Disk Utility” app, it’s located in /Applications/Utilities/
- Pull down the File menu and select ‘Open Disk Image’
- Navigate to the ISO image file that you want burned and click “OK”
- Insert a Blank Disk (CD or DVD, use the appropriate disk as necessary depending on the ISO file size)
- Click ‘Burn’ and wait until the image has finished burning to the disc

I also need to add that my mac doesn't have a disc drive but i do have a cable from my mac to my hard drive. also do i need to name the hard drive anything in particular ? and finally does it need to be a certain format?
