Will this: Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard - Upgrade | PowerMax


will that install cleanly on a new hard drive? do i need previous os discs for it to work on a brand new hard drive that I just got. Snow leopard 10.6.3

the link is for powermax.com thats wheree i found it. I want to know if i get this if it will install nicely without problem. please let me know and thanks so much.

Well tell us about your Mac. Intel is it?

yes 2006 macbook. intel. 160 gb western digital hard drive. brand spankin new. I dont have other os discs so I need to install os on there. I see 10.6.3 on sites for 29.99 does the .3 have to do with anything? please let me know if its possible to install. thanks

Have a good read of this link and away you go:-


AppleInsider | Apple's Snow Leopard disc will install on Tiger Macs

ahh thanks for the info so I take that as a yes. but will it stilll install with this hard drive you think if that has to do with anything: Mac Memory and Hard Drives: Western Digital 160GB 2.5in 7200rpm 16MB - Ramjet, Inc.

let me know if u can

The only thing I would query is the heat factor of a 7200rpm drive in a laptop. As a desktop user cannot assist with heat, but after formatting Mac OS Extended and setting up Partition Map as GUID, Snow Leopard will install.
