Foxic Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Start with a 10.6.3 retail disk and Nawcoms ModCD/ModUSB. You will need to use the legacy kernel until you update to 10.6.8 as prior to this there is no SandyBridge support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_rawyy Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thank you James For your reply but it would be helpful if there is any similar tutorial I can follow it to do it. Thank you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 There are so many tutorials but you really don't need one. Download Nawcoms ModCD/ModUSB and either burn to disk or restore to a USB drive using disk utility from OS X (use a friends MAC/Hack) Boot from the ModCD/USB Press F8 to interrupt the boot process Insert a 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk Press F5 to refresh the visable drives Select the install DVD Type -v Press enter If you get a kernel panic, take a photo and post it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slobodnium Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hello, i have been following this procedure and installing Snow 10.6.3 original retail version from Apple and everything went fine but ... when it restated it want boot. The laptop says no bootable disk found Before gooing through this procedure i formated and partitioned the drive via diskutility on my iMac but now laptop don't want to boot this installation ? i guess it is problem with booting the disk not the installation itself !??!# can i repair this or do i need to go all over again, if so how to properly prepare the hard disk (no partition entire hdd for this system and it is SSD) the laptop is HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Please help to make this Snow work on it thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
