[Help] Installing Snow Leopard on my laptop - PkerkidHD - Nov 16, 2010
Hi,
Recently I borrowed A Snow Leopard retail disk from my friend. So I can install Snow Leopard on my PC. I have a AMD Athlon x2 (64) processor. I read some guides and followed the steps but most of them don't work when I boot the DVD Darwin will boot and restart my computer right away.
Does anyone know how I would be able to install Snow Leopard on my PC?

Thanks but I already tried this method. The thumb drive doesn't boot when I start up my computer. I set all Usb settings to launch first before my hard drive.
