I am selling my older imac. I have wiped the drive and I want to reinstall Snow Leopard, the operating system it came with. The machine was once upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have the original Snow Leopard disc. I can't seem to reinstall Snow Leopard. Suggestons?

I don't have ML but doesn't it work off two partitions and it might be a good idea not to just erase but completely repartition the drive back as one?
I have done that and when I get to the install screen I get an error message after choosing Englisha as my language... "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer" and it wants me to restore from my time machine backup which is Mountain Lion.
