[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1300854, member: 11094"] With the OS X install media in the optical drive, hold down Option at boot. This will bring you to a screen to select the device/media you want to boot to. Choose the install media. If the DVD does not show as an option the media may be damaged or the drive may be faulty. Also if you have install after market RAM this may cause the DVD media not to boot correctly. Snow Leopard install media by default will not perform a clean install so don't worry about losing data. You would need to run Disk Utility while booted to the install media to initialize the disk first (which would wipe out your data). [/QUOTE]
