1. on a separate mac restore your snow leopard dvd onto a usb via disk utility
2. after thats done, run netbookmaker and select the usb you restores sl to
3. click make bootable usb
4. after it finishes take it out and plug it into your mini
5. plug in your usb to your mini
6. boot into it (i think you know how)
7. in disk utility, partition your hard disk into to partitions, one for os x and one for xp (XP HAS TO BE THE 2ND ONE)
8. partition it as a mac os x journaled
9. click options and select guid
10. format it
11. now click on the second partition (xp)
12. under the erase tab select ms dos (fat) and erase the xp partition
13. now were done with diskutil, exit it and continue on with your osx install on the first partition when it asks you
14. reboot into your xp install
15. select xp to install on your 2nd partition
16. after selecting it select format as ntfs and continue (quick)
17. continue with that install and after its done it should only boot into xp, after i come back from school i will post the rest to make it install into mac os x
Hi I'm having the same problem, I select the "Mac OS X Install DVD" icon and press Enter and then it comes up with "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again". NOTE: This is the first Apple screen I have seen (I have not been able to create the partition, the guide does not ask for that....yet)

I'm following the guide by MechDrew: NetbookInstaller 2: USB Mac Installation via Any Operating System | Guides | OS X | mechdrew, it does not say you need another Mac to complete the installation. I do not have another Mac, is there any way to get around this?

Regards,
Rob
