Hello!
I need help at the installation of Snow Leopard on my Laptop.
First I tried to install it following the iBoot + MultiBeast guide, but the keyboard and the trackpad didn't work, so I connected an USB mouse which worked. Then I wanted to create a partition in disk utility but my harddisk wasn't recognized.
Then I tried to make an USB flash drive installer first with Chameleon following this guide but the needed PC EFI is not available for download anymore.
So I tried to make an USB flash drive installer with Clover following this guide in the forum.
But there are no instructions for copying the Snow Leopard installer files to the flash drive, only for Mavericks to Mojave. So I first used a command from the first USB flash drive guide:
but the USB drive didn't boot. Then I used these commands:
but it still didn't boot.
The last thing I tried was to add the kexts from the laptop guide to the iBoot-Ivy-Bridge.iso and burned it on disc, but when booting after a little bit of text it got stuck.
Now I don't know what to do anymore, so I ask for your help at installing Snow Leopard on my laptop.
Best regards
