Anybody know why I can't boot from a snow leopard DVD (or an older 10.4.4 DVD)? I am trying to boot from DVD to run disc utility to reformat and partition internal drive etc then restore from an external firewire time machine drive.
However, when ever I run the snow leopard util thingy that says to use this utility you need to reboot it spits the DVD out... AARRGGGHH! Even when restarting and holding the 'c' key or the option key it spits out the DVd and continues to boot from the internal. An earlier version of osx (10.4.4) does the same thing.
Dud drive? Going mad here and my high praise of apple products is waning.
