Brandon Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Here's the deal-- Trying to install Snow Leopard onto a hard drive out of another machine that does not have a working DVD drive. I have iDeneb 10.5.6 installed on my current machine and would like to install SL onto the second hard drive where I can remove it, put it into the other hackintosh and have it work without messing up the boot loader for my first machine. I have the retail OSX disc. Can I just regularly install it onto the second drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Helix Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Not straight from the DVD no, it wouldnt have all the drivers and kext's needed to run, from what ive heard getting SL to run on OSx86 requires upgrading from a Leopard OSx86 install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 from what ive heard getting SL to run on OSx86 requires upgrading from a Leopard OSx86 install Not necessarily upgrading from Leopard, but yeah.. Most tutorials I saw (and the one I actually used) required Leopard to prepare the Snow Leopard drive/partition (installing the bootloader, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
