Mar 13, 2015 3:52 PM in response to mikefromtarzanaby Niel,If you already have a disk image with Snow Leopard on it, use the Disk Utility to restore it. If not, you’ll need to boot from a Mac OS X 10.6 install DVD, which requires it to be newer than the Mac; on compatible ones, insert it and restart with the C or Option key held down.

Mar 14, 2015 10:20 AM in response to Nielby mikefromtarzana,Niel,
Thanks for the reply, but I have a question. What is a "disk image with Snow Leopard on it"?
My Mac is a iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007, with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. (Still runs like a champ!)
I have my original Mac OS X Snow Leopard Version 10.6 DVD. I would like to use a new 750 GB external USB hard drive as a bootable drive, so that I can boot up in Snow Leopard and then run some old software I still use (e.g, AppleWorks, Microsoft Office 2004, ...)
I appreciate any suggestions you can offer!
Mike
