Like the original poster, I've found a number of machines that require a Snow Leopard installer higher than what may be available (since the owners of those machines have invariably lost their discs and/or have bricked their optical drives). My method (and I will freely admit this was not my original idea) is to use a disk image of a 10.6.8 working HD that has not yet been through the personalization. I "restored" this image to a few destinations—a toolkit, of sorts—a USB hard drive, FireWire HD, USB flash drive, and even a SDHC card. Then I went through the personalization with each one. Finally, I copied the original disk image (as a .dmg) to these destinations. Obviously, you need something like a 16GB flash drive or SDHC card. ---

Restoring is different to Installing. |
