[QUOTE="fbuechner, post: 1367090, member: 237207"] [b]iMac (late 2010) not booting SL Install DVD[/b] hi, i'm having similar problems with my iMac (i7, late 2010). Occasionally, I need to run Snow Leopard or Leopard. Have lots of external drives, two opticals. SL Install DVD does NOT boot in any optical drive. No way: press C, press Alt, NVRAM, PRAM. Found an old 40 GB drive out of my PowerMac, containing 10.5.8. Connect, select as start volume, boot => Halfway (system hangs after half a boot). Re-try => system boots. Now (3 days later) again no boot. Currently cloning said 10.5.8 drive, to have a backup. Will post results, if any. Best, Felix [/QUOTE]
