Q: Can't boot 2013 MacBook Pro from 10.6.8

I've been trying to boot my 2013 MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5) from a clone on of an old drive running 10.6.8 and then from the original 10.6.8 drive itself (on a 2007 MacBook) but with no success. All I get is the startup sound and then the grey screen with the Apple Logo but with no spinning gear. Waited as long as an hour while I ran errands.

 

Any ideas?

 

btw, I did search around on the net and it seems this should work, and I'm pretty sure I remember doing this a year or so ago with success.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
