Snow Leopard & Leopard partitions from old Macbook 2007 (restored from Time machine) do not boot on new 13" MacBook Pro 2012
Bought a new 13 " MB pro 2.5 core i5 (2012) (not the retina) because old faithful Blackbook 2007 (Lion was its limit) fell off a table onto a hard floor. new MBP Came with 10.8.2 but I made 4 partitions to match what was on old blackbook.
One of the partitions with 10.6 on it was used to run my old Canon FB630U scanner so Snow Leopard was as far as I could go.
Canon would have been nice had they made updates that didn't require or need Rossetta or made the jump to lion. They have versions that work in Windows 7.
After the restore, I could not boot up 10.6 on my new Macbook Pro. Got the famous kernel panic (please restart). Using the SL install disk would not work even if I tried to boot from the CD and the install button showed the famous (Will not Work) sign when I booted up in ML in ML and inserted the MAC os SL dvd.
Other partition that I restored was Leopard. When I tried to boot it on the MBP, I did not get a kernel panic just a bright screen with no apple showing that something is happening. Had 2 choices meaning 2 partitions to run the scanner on the old blackbook, L and SL. Again the installers did not work when I tried both ways to install on that old Leopard partition.
Is there a work around that would permit me to run in either SL or Leopard on my new MBP? If this does not exist, then I'll have a giant Canon scanner paper weight.
Thanks
