I have not been able to find a snow leopard install iso other that SnowOSX to use so if I should be using something else or another method please feel free to correct me.Ģ. It is still copying the ISO to the USB drive, but it is very very slow considering it is a usb 2.0 drive so I will wait and see what happens when it finishes. I'm trying to use Unetbootin right now and it seems to be working somewhat okay. The SnowOSX iso seems to be in a UDF format, so I'm not sure that I need to use transmac to image it to the usb drive. Also, I have a SnowOSX 2.6A iso image that I am trying to transfer to the usb drive so I can boot from it and install OSX on the netbook. All I have is an external usb case with a 10GB IDE hard drive in it. I don't have an external DVD drive to use with the netbook.
I am trying to dual boot windows 7 and osx on the netbook.
