Snow Leopard to thumn drive clarification

[Olroc]

Hey guys,

 

I'm clearly a super noob who hasnt even got a mac working yet.

 

That said, I'm working on a lifehacker build. (waiting on parts to get here)

 

I have had the chance to go the the Snow Leopard Ripping process and I must say that it was a treacherous battle in itself. The borrowed Macbook that i was using couldnt read the retail Snow Leopard Disc, so i had to figure out a way to get a Dmg file!!

 

I ended up not even wasting my time creating the dmg file and found an external dvd drive that could read the snow leopard disc. Luckily i had one and it read.

 

From then on , I strictly ran disk utility, formatted my thumb drive, then restored the SL disc itself (not as a dmg file) to the thumb drive straight from the disc.

 

Finally, I ended up with a bootable thumb drive ready to install into my ep45 ud3p

 

 

My next step is to build the beast and install Snow Leopard.

 

Hope this helped.
