However, to do that you must install Snow Leopard and the updater on a computer that can be booted from Or if your computer shipped with an OS X restore disc or flash drive, then you can install that version directly to your computer.
It does not, however, suggest that the ones he has cannot run a version of Snow Leopard later than the retail version, I was correcting christopher rigby1 's post about iMacs booting from Snow Leopard which they cannot according to MacTracker. The OP is unclear in his first post, if he upgraded his installation of Snow Leopard on his external drive from BTW, Mike, although Apple insists you cannot boot a Mac with a version of OS X earlier than the version with which it shipped, that is not a hard, fast rule.
Some Mac models will boot from earlier versions of OS X than what they shipped with. The main issue is usually if there are major hardware changes in the newer models that must have the newer version of OS X in order to work. One only knows by trying. Of course, it's highly unlikely that a model that shipped with But it may work and some did with a later version of Snow Leopard that is not available as a retail product.
One example, please, of a model that only shipped with Then there are the earlier models that shipped with Snow Leopard Communities Get Support. Sign in Sign in Sign in corporate. Browse Search.

My idea was to connect the old hard drive which has Lion installed using a USB docking station, boot from that and using the installer on the old hard drive desktop, install Lion straight onto my new internal hard drive.
Would this work and if not how can I get either Lion or Snow Leopard installed on my new internal hard drive? I am new to the Mac Forums and have found the information very helpful. I am curious if anyone has attempted to try this Time Machine will probably not back up to a partition on an internal drive; it's looking for an external drive.
Use Disk Utility you can do this with Tiger to repartition the drive. As you do the repartitioning, take great care to specify the correct partition scheme! If you're using an Intel machine because you have no PPC machines , you want the GUID partition scheme; it is easy to neglect this step, and if you do, and you accidentally use APM, you won't be able to make a Leopard bootable disk.
We suggest three partitions:. As described in the earlier tutorial , insert your Leopard installer DVD into the computer and make an image file from it. Now "restore" clone the image file to the first partition on the external firewire drive. The first partition on the external firewire drive is now bootable: it is a clone of the installer DVD. So boot from it! The effect is just as if you had booted from the installer DVD: the installer will offer to install Leopard.
Do an erase-and-install onto the second partition of the external firewire drive.
