Step 3: Put the burned boot cd into your cd-drive and on startup at the “DELL” splash screen press “F12″ now you will be at the boot selection menu, from here wait till your activity light on your cd-drive stops blinking and boot from the disc.
Step 4: Eject the boot-132 disk and replace it with your Snow Leopard Disc and again, wait till the activity light stops blinking. Once it has stopped press “F5″ and the Install Disk will appear. Boot the disc by pressing enter. The disc will take about 5-10 min to load.
Step 5: Once in the install disk go to “Tools” from the menu bar and choose “Disk Utility.” Once you’ve gotten into the Disk Utility you have to select your hard drive and click on the partition tab and under the Volume Scheme choose 1 Partition and click “Options” and choose GPT. From this tab choose “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” and name it Macintosh HD and click apply.
