Heya,

I've finally decided to get off my (metaphorical) ass and sort out dual booting so I can finally get back to creating new mansions, it's a hell of a lot more work than I originally thought it would take as apparently my normal OS X Snow Leopard Install disk won't work with Parallels only OSX Server Snow Leopard will... seriously?!?! But yeah, I just ordered a copy of Server from eBay and should hopefully be here by next week. So if all goes well I can finally get back to the mansion I started to build... THREE YEARS A GO!!!!! ...that's if I can find it of course

I had to get a new computer late last year and then found out I could no longer boot into Snow Leopard because the newer Macs can't run it. Totally bummed.

Oh Semi-Native, you should have bought an old one instead or you can buy one now!

For now I am using my mom's desktop as it doesn't support lion, but I shall tell everyone how my dual boot plan works out when I get the Server Snow Leopard Disk

It can, but it needs the later updates. 10.6.7 I think or 10.6.8. The problem is that you can't install from a DVD or original installation file since they're 10.6

I used CCC (http://www.bombich.com) to make a disk image of a working 10.6.8 system that I found on an older mac and installed that on a partition on my new one. Restarted with option pressed and there it was, works like a dream

Good to know Olle. Thanks for posting that!

With the MacBook Pros with Retina (from the early 2013 models) it doesn't have the drivers to run previous versions so you need to run it using a VM which is only compatible with OSX Server

Well, I finally got it to work.

I got the Snow Leopard Server and created a VM using Parallels (I gots a trial lol) I had a problem with the sound but was able to quickly sort that out with thanks to the parallels support resources (http://kb.parallels.com/120937) and now everything works pretty great, with the odd sound glitches, the main menu music keeps skipping but everything else seems to work perfectly
