Will Snow Leopard 10.6.8 run on a Mac Mini?

I've got a partition on my hd that contains Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but when I try to start it up, it won't do it. Any thoughts?

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Adobe Reader, Safari

It depends on which Mac mini model it is. Append the last three characters of the computer's serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and see what the minimum and maximum Mac OS X versions are for it. If it's too new to boot 10.6.8, it can still run it inside a product such as VirtualBox.
