Daniel, Ronni
my thanks to you both over your full advice on my recent issue with the
Snow Leopard installation.
Our MacBook was running on Leopard and on acquiring my shiny up to the minute
iMac( which I worship and adore by the way!) I decided to bring the laptop up
to the same system and being super honest I purchased a Snow Leopard DVD for
this purpose. Naturally all went fine. I then elected to make a "Service
Disk" on an external FW 800 drive to carry Disk Warrior, TechToolPro and the
like as I had previously set up with my G5. It is SO much faster than booting
from the CD and I like to run DW at least monthly and it is a nice safety
precaution. (I also have regularly updated clone of the iMac on another drive
which I could use for the same thing but a stripped down dedicated set up is
aesthetically more pleasing). As the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD was first to hand
that was the one I tried and you know the rest of the story. Once the problem
was explained I just used the iMac System DVD (10.6.6 I think) and away it
went, as it should.
At least my conscience is clear and I DID buy a copy for the MacBook and not
just use the iMac DVD.
As always, you both proved not only to be expert sources of wisdom but generous
with your time and full responses. Bless you both!
Severin
