[QUOTE="busi904, post: 1756560, member: 392002"] Thank you all for responding to my inquiry so promptly. Model of my MacBook/specs are MB402LL/A, 2.1GHz, 4GB upgraded RAM, OS X v10.5 Leopard from Feb 2008. The disk I am trying to install is white Mac OS X Snow Leopard ver 10.6.3, bootable installation disk with snow leopard picture on it. None of the Mac commands during the boot process work to bring up the Mac Utilities menu. At present I can only experiment with anything bootable bec I destroyed the original Mac partition table. I understand that is not worth spending more time and money, but I read that it is still good and a solid performer under Snow Leopard for most tasks. My reason for going with Gparted software is bec it is free, bootable, and has HFS+ / GPT partitioning. If there is anything better, bootable software out there that is free to use, I would like to know. - Busi [/QUOTE]
