I have a clean and formatted SSD where I want to install Snow Leopard from a USB flash drive containing a OS X image from a (not the one it came with) original install-DVD. But for some reason it wont boot from the USB. I though this was the way to do it? When I created the image I chose "compressed" format. Maybe that's the reason?

What to do?

    If not the one it came with, which installation DVD? Installation media bundled with the computer might only install on the model they came with.

  • @Gerry My friends DVD. My own install DVD was corruped. But how am I suppose to get OS X installed if my USB is bundled as well? Sounds retarted :) But im dont think thats the issue. Because when I turn on the macbook, it cant find the flash drive. The big "?" is just flashing. Holding alt/option or C doesnt work either

It might have because Snow Lepoard doesnt work with USB booting. I tried with a torrent downloaded Lion and that worked along with "Lion Diskmaker" (Just google it).
