LonelyTV Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 If you have OS X already installed on a computer you can "restore" the Snow Leopard DMG to the external drive (formated HFS+). That should do it. Sadly, I don't know a method for non-OS X installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
