I see part of the problem. the disk utility is supposed to have a
"Partition " tab that lets you install the GUID. Mine (10.6.8) has
only 4 tabs; first aid, erase, RAID, restore.
**************Prior message: *******************
Yeah, I am following the instructions at:
http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
1. Open Disk Utility and select the Flash Drive
2. Select the Erase tab on the right and then set Format
to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name the partition you'll be creating
Snow Leopard or OS X Install so you can keep track of your
installation device. After you've done this, click the Erase button.
Step 2 won't complete. When I "click on the "erase" button, it said
the source has not been verified, but offers no way to verify. When
I go to the "first aid" tab of the disk utility, find the file, and
click verify, it verifies, but then the "restore" tab does the same
thing on the nest try to "restore."
I tried copy paste to put the files on the USB stick but that does
not show up as bootable.
Still frustrating!
Thanks for any suggestions.
The same. Get the image file and load it on to a bootable USB stick
and you're done.

Mac ?
I am trying to upgrade the old macbook 1.1 from 10.5 to 10.6 so I can
get a web browser that works.
Thanks to Dan, I have the disk image for the 10.6 install. It won't
boot from the computer; says I have to put it on a disk. It won't work on
a normal dvd, but wants a dual layer DVD+ -. There are no dual layer blank
dvds to be bought in town, unless the univ bookstore has some tomorrow.
None at floormart or at worstbuy. Staples packed up the tent and left.
I bought a WD "my passport" external drive, and first used it to back up
the machine HD. After the "must burn to disk" warning, i thought I could
put the install file on the external drive and boot from that. No dice!
It seems that the WD external drives made explicitly for Mac won't boot
from a mac. So, what is the mac equivalent of the MBR from a
winders drive?
The next option seems to be a 16 GB USB stick. I've found scripts to
use to make a USB stick bootable using terminal. At this point, and with
10 dvd DL costing $20-30, it seems like the USB stick may be the shortest
route to success.
Anyone BTDT? What are your thoughts, Mac guys? Thanks
