Downgrading from mountain lion to snow leopard
A few days ago I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Long story short, I hate it and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I don't even care about getting my $20 back. I just want my machine the way it was before I installed this disaster. I tried using Time Machine to restore to a previous date, that doesn't work (can't even click on the "Restore" button - nothing happens when I do). I tried re-installing from the Snow Leopard install disk. That doesn't work either. Is there an easy-ish way to do this? I don't want to have to back up and then erase my whole hard drive, which is what I'm thinking I may have to do. Is there a better/easier/faster way? Is it even possible to use the SL installation disk twice??
