zzmojoezz Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 I wish it was that easy, I don't have any money to buy it, and won't for awhile, I lost my job. I am sure I can do this, but I Just need some help, because when I search google for how-to's, it just shows leopard guides, I know its probably because snow leopard just came out, but I'd be greatful if someone could help, Thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/184051-best-way-for-me-to-install-snow-leopard/#findComment-1251931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhhlui Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 !! anyother Instructions External HDD Method !! Tested and Works * On your external USB or Firewire HDD, create a 10GB Mac OS X Extended partition, format this partition and leave it blank. You will need this later on. * Mount the .DMG file * Using Disk Utility, Select the RESTORE Tab * Right Click on the "Mac OS X Install DVD" and select it as the SOURCE * Right Click on your USB/Firewire 10GB Partition and select it as DESTINAION * Check off "Erase Destination" * Click Restore * Wait for Restore to complete * Once restore is complete, you will notice that your 10GB Partition name is called "Mac OS X Install DVD" * Unmount the Disk Image * LEAVE THE USB/FIREWIRE DRIVE CONNECTED * Restart your Mac and hold the Option Key to get the startup disk menu * Select the External HDD, Labelled "Mac OS X Install DVD" * Booting from the External HDD works and it's fast!! Anytime you want to install Snow Leopard on any Intel Mac Computer, all you need to do is bring your External Drive, connect it, reboot and install.

Guid Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 could i try making a partition on my internal drive(macbook) and install it from there Since you already have Leopard running. Just mount the disc image and open this file (you can access /System via terminal): /Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg And install it to an another partition. You'll have to deselect the printer drivers on the customize screen, or the installation will fail.
