It can be installed without an optical drive. (Note that more recent Macs with OS 10.7 or later may not run the Snow Leopard Installer. If that is the case, try option 3 below.) To install Snow Leopard on older Mac (but with Intel processor): 1) use a spare USB flash drive (at least 8GB in size that will be reformatted and erased) and a second Mac with an optical drive, or 2) have Mac to be upgraded connected to a Local Area Network with another Mac (or Windows XP PC) that does have an optical drive. Option 1 (easiest): 1) Use Disk Utility to reformat the USB drive as 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' with the GUID partition option (if available. More recent versions of Disk Utility automatically do the GUID partition option).
Si tenes una Mac y no tiene lectora de DVD aca te explico como hacer un pendrive booteable y como hacer para bootear (arrancar) desde el puerto USB En este video te explico paso a paso, usando el. This article will allow you to learn the necessary steps for creating your own bootable Mac OS X Leopard (or Lion) image on a USB memory stick.

2) On a Mac with working optical drive, use Disk Utility to RESTORE the DVD to the USB flash drive. 3) Connect USB flash drive to Mac to be upgraded. Restart Mac and hold option key. Select 'Snow Leopard DVD' (which is now the name of USB flash drive). 4) Follow installation instructions.

Option 2 (more hassle than it may be worth): The Snow Leopard DVD has 'Remote Install OS X' software on it for remote install. Place DVD in optical drive of a Mac or Windows XP PC on same network as Mac to receive Snow Leopard. Find the software and follow the instructions. Option 3 (if Snow Leopard installer will not run on Mac because Mac is too new): (This requires another older Intel-based Mac that is able to run the installer.) Create a small partition (at least 12GB) that is formatted as 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' with the GUID partition option (partition can be on an external drive or USB flash drive). Install Snow Leopard to the partition. Use Disk Utility to make DMG image of partition OR move external/USB drive to newer Mac. If DMG image was created, copy to newer Mac, and restore DMG to a partition on newer Mac.
Restart Mac, hold option key, and select partition with Snow Leopard. Answered by Ewald W from Vancouver. Feb 3, 2016.
I've been following appliarts guide for installing Snow Leopard on an AMD PC: I have downloaded both the Nawcom modcd (also burned it to blank dvd) and the retail osx 10.6 Snow Leopard dmg file. Unfortunately my blank DVD is only 4.7 gb and the dmg file is over 6.
I've seen in several tutorials it's recommended to make a bootable dmg usb drive BUT they all require you have osx already installed to use the mac utilities to do so. I don't have access to a mac so can I create a bootable dmg usb drive in windows 7? NO osx virtual box NO installing any mac builds JUST with strictly Windows 7 software. Im sorry to tell you this man. But that is impossible.
Believe me, i am the KING of usb installs because i've been installing OSX for about 5 months via USB and you need to have a running OSX strictly for the purpose of Disk Utility. I find some possibilities here: 1. I am the King and you're no more than a Jack 2. You're the King and I am an Ace. As I don't believe I am neither an Ace nor a King. I think you may be a Joker or, better said, a clown.
The procedure is easy under Windows or Linux. I'll describe it under Linux for two reasons: First, because there are utilities for doing the same under Windows, and second, because If you don't find the utilities you can install CygWin and use Linux utilities under Windows.
Here's what you have to do: 1. Prepare the media. Format your USB with an hfs filesystem. Under linux you can use mkfs.hfsplus after installing hfsprogs, hfsplus and hfsutils packages. Convert the image.
You have to convert the dmg to an img (or iso) file. Let's say you have an snowleopard.img. Dmg2img snowleopard.img snowleopard.iso 3. Find the partition to mount.
As the iso file has two partitions, and the relevant one is the second one, you'll have to find it. The second partition has the hexadecimal chain '48 2b 00 04' (coud also be '48 58 00 05') 1024 bytes after it's start.
So, you can find the offset of the chain and then go to the start of the partition 1024 bytes before. An hexadecimal editor could find it for you. Hexdump -C snowleopard.iso grep '48 2b 00 04' It could take some minutes, but you'll receive an hexadecimal answer. Check it ends with '00' This is the offset of the Volumeheader partition, but remember the partition starts 1024 bytes before. So, if the answer is something like: 00008400 48 2b 00 04 80 00 01 00 31 30 2e 30 00 00 00 00 H+.10.0. You convert the hexadecimal 8400 to decimal and get 33792.
Then you substract 1024 and you get 32768 which is the offset of your second partition. Mount the partition sudo losetup -o 32768 /dev/loop snowleopard.iso sudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt (Remember to use the offset you found, not 32768) 5. Copy the files cp -r /mnt/. /pathwhereyourUSBismounted After that you'll have a bootable USB, you can use under any Mac to Install OSX. I was able to make a boot stick on my linux laptop without the need for the HFS progs. 1) partition usb stick with 1 partition big enough to hold the 6+gig partition we will send it.
Make sure it is partition type af for the HFS. 2) use 7z to extract the partition from the dmg file directly. On the image I had '7z l snowleapard.dmg' the partition was labeled 5.hfs. So I used 7z x snowleapard.dmg 5.hfs 3) use dd or other disk copy app to copy partition to usb stick. Dd if=5.hfs of=/dev/sdb1 b=4096 4) enjoy your working boot disk.
