[QUOTE="mf666, post: 1089056, member: 150934"] [b]Huh? You mean Leopard over Snow Leopard.[/b] I think you are confused. You can't install a backward degrade -- Leopard over Snow Leopard. You install Snow Leopard over Leopard -- going forward. To install Leopard on a drive volume that has Snow Leopard requires clicking the "Options" button. Then you choose either "Erase and Install" (in which case, Snow Leopard disappears entirely) or "Archive and Install" (in which case Snow Leopard is hidden in a folder called "Previous Systems"). There isn't going to be any installation of Leopard over Snow Leopard. In reference to the off-topic response about Tiger, you can't install Snow Leopard over Tiger. All claims to that effect are false. Tiger must be gotten out of the way first, either by erasing the volume, by moving all the Tiger folders into some other folder (similar to an Archive and Install), or by choosing a different drive volume.
