How to install OS X 10.6 on Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro)

Post by Icapod »

Help! Have downloaded Virtualbox and installed Windows 7, no probs. But as I have a couple of programs that use Rosetta (and earlier), I would like to install Snow Leopard. It doesn't boot. IBoot seems to only run in a Windows platform and I am uncertain if I can run Virtualbox from inside Windows to install SNow Leopard from Mac.

How do I get it to install?

Thanks everyone!

You don't say what year or model MacBook Pro you have but if it can't run 10.6 natively it can't run 10.6 in VirtualBox.

Apple's EULA only allows you to install the server version of 10.6, I believe. I'm sure you could run 10.6 in a VM, but it would violate the EULA.
