installing Snow Leopard over Tiger Server
Hi
I have an old tiger server (mac pro) and I would basically like to install snow leopard over the top of this 8 core xenon intel server.
I didn't have time to find the SL install discs themselves, but with the SL server discs; they wouldn't pickup as bootable media in the drive, and with the normal leopard disc it comes up "Not for this Machine".
We have a licenses for SL at work, and the machine doesn't need to run any server roles but I would like the raw power of the processors and ram to update/manage images, run VMs; sadly I have to run windows on it for AD.
Is there any tech reason why I cant just boot up using the SL discs, disk util the hdd and remove tiger and install SL? if the firmware on the machine is upto date? Its come from another site and I'm waiting on the all clear data wise and the password to access the machine at the moment.
Will wiping the the hdd ethier with the discs or target disk mode help with the install of SL?
Thanks...
