Hello
I have made a bootable version of snow leopard on my USB key. I partitioned the drive correctly, restored the dmg to the USB key correctly, etc
When I tested in on my MacBook pro, on start up I held alt, selected the USB drive to boot from and it booted just fine into the install Mac OSX screen, asking me what language I want to use, etc.
However, the reason I made the boot is for my iMac.
When I try to boot from that drive on my iMac, it goes to a white screen with an apple after selecting the drive, it then just sits there indefinitely. The USB key has a light on it indicating it is in use. The light goes out, and nothing happens.
Any idea why this would work on a older intel dualcore macbook pro and not work on my 2010 i3 iMac?
Thanks
