[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1729749, member: 131855"] What I am about to say may or may not be an issue in this case but is worth watching out for. Pay careful attention doing the installation. The Snow Leopard disc that you have is 10.6.3 while the Mac already has 10.6.8 installed on it. If you try to simply do an installation without formatting the drive, the installer may complain that it cannot do this because the OS on the hard drive is newer (more) recent than the one you are trying to install. I'm pretty sure this happens on major releases but don't remember about the update releases. If that is the case you may be forced to format the drive if you want to continue. [/QUOTE]
