Installing SL from a DMG

Snow Leopard from a disk image (on a Mac)
Installing This method shown is for those who would like to retain and an existing OS. Granted, you'll need the space if you follow this exactly as you create a partition for both your Install Image and New OS.

If you would like to simply install the OS on top of an existing user account... you go ahead and simply make the one "Install Image" partition.

@SckweeWasHere

yikes?!!

thats not good.

Any drive that is connected to your machine should appear. If not... then they aren't actually there/made.

Rinse and repeat?

What I think I might do is reformat Leopard and when I am doing the install create the 3 partitions. Then once Leopard is installed I can restore the SL dmg to one and then install SL on the other. Then if SL is working well, delete Leopard and the install partition altogether. That will work, right?

[SpliffyDLicious]

yeah- Thats the workaround and idea I believe. And as long as it doesn't wipe your primary operating system... that sounds like the process- good luck!

@SckweeWasHere seems you forgot to verify the disk.
