Q: Installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion - PART ONE

For reasons that have been expressed very often on this forum (primarily Rosetta and the ablitity to run PPC-apps) many people have been asking me to put together in one place the results of my research on this topic.  I have taken all of the research that I have found, and refined and improved much of it.

 

This thread, as Part One, will look at the long process for completing this result; the so-called "not easily accomplished in three steps" process.  It will be followed later by my and hopefully others, suggestions for the "easy" way. 

 

Why the long process first?

 

•  Some people appreciate being able to roll up there sleeves, do it yourself and achieve the satisfaction that comes from successful completion of the project;

 

•  Just like I have made improvements to what I found in my research, I expect others will offer improvements to what I have to offer; and

 

•  If the "easy" way is offered first, there will be little encouragement to improve the long process.

 

What is needed:

 

•  Installation of Parallels 7 in your Lion computer - I will expect this step has already been completed.

 

•  A fresh copy of the Snow Leopard Installation DVD (and not a machine specific, nor restore disk that may have come with your computer).

 

•  Use of the programs Disk Utility and Terminal, both of which are in the /Applications/Utitities/ folder.

 

What are the steps that will be taken:

 

1.  Preparation of the Snow Leopard Installation DVD for use in Parallels 7

 

2.  Installation of Snow Leopard into Parallels 7 (and optionally installing Parallel Tools)

 

3.  Upgrading Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and other available upgrades

 

4.  Creating a backup of the completed process.

 

I will be offering each step, one at a time...
