[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1409482, member: 46727"] The SSD should show up in Disk Utility whether or not it's formatted. However, you do have to format it first before installing OS X. And, you can install Leopard first as it is not needed in order to install Snow Leopard. The problem with installing Snow Leopard first is that you will not have access to iLife. So if you need iLife, install Leopard and then Snow Leopard. Make sure you've connected everything and that the SSD is seated properly in the cavity and snugly on the SATA connector. [/QUOTE]
