[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1368737, member: 46727"] You should be able to boot from your Snow Leopard DVD provided it's the correct one for the Mini. Try doing a PRAM reset first, then see if it will boot. [I]To reset your computer’s PRAM: Shut down the computer. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4. Turn on the computer. Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys.[/I] Let us know if that works. [/QUOTE]
