Help Installing Snow Leopard

[pratikmistry]

Hello All,
I am new to this forum. I have a Lenovo S10 with 2.5GB DDR2 Memory and a 320GB Seagate Hard Drive. I want to install Snow Leopard, so I have been following some steps that I found in this forum. I was using 10.5.5 to create my bootable flash drive. I don't have a Mac at home so I purchased a Leopard Disc from craigslist and decided to try installing it in VMWare. I have VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 working with Leopard installed in it. I created a dmg out of my friends Snow Leopard disc. I am going to donate $25 once I am able to boot snow leopard on my S10. I have updated my Bios to the latest version. When I formatted my flash drive I chose Mac OS Journaled. Once the OSX labeled flash drive was ready I ran Snow Leopard Enabler 1.1.3 and attempted to install. Once the destination drive has been formatted ready for the installation, it installs for about 4 minutes and then stop and says Install Failed, Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. The installer could not copy the necessary support files. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again.

I have been searching online for other people that have had similar problems, but was unable to find any solutions. I have tried re installing again, tried re formatting the drive. Please Help

Hey. Just did the install two days ago, all went flawlessly.. I do have a real Mac to do the steps.. I followed the tutorial I initially found http://tech-chimp.com/2009/10/300-macbo ... x-10-6-1/.. did you Restore the dmg to the flash using Disk Utility? Just copying the mounted image or dmg to the the flash is not enough.. other than that.. doesnt seem anything wrong with your described steps at least at first glance.. or has to be smth to do with using VMware for initial steps.. which I doubt.. hope this helps.. report back Good luck
UPD. Just follow this tutorial by the letter viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3280

I am remaking the bootable usb. It is taking quite some time, luckily I am doing this all at work, killing 2 bird with 1 stone lol.

Maybe the friend with the Snow Leopard disc lets you use his computer to create the bootable USB medium? (You should really buy your own Snow Leopard disc though, it's worth it.)
