#Run scrivener 2.8.1.2 on snow leopard mac os
To convert the netbook to run the Mac OS, and the Mac OS only, I followed the excellent “ Cat in the Bag” instructions on MyMacBookMini (there’s now a newer, 4-part set of instructions on that site, which promise slightly better results but require a more complicated install). (All my data was already backed up - I was just worried about the operating systems themselves.) But I compared the size of my original partitions with the size of the backup, and concluded that the identical size meant I almost certainly had a retrievable, reinstallable backup if I really needed to go back to Windows/Ubuntu. The hardest part of the conversion process was creating a complete and perfect backup of my Windows and Ubuntu partitions, and in fact I never succeeded in creating bootable backups. I decided to eliminate the Windows and Ubuntu partitions entirely, since Mike advised that I was more likely to get good results if I avoided the landmine of a dual-boot machine. The next day I proceeded to convert the netbook into its new life as a Mac.
#Run scrivener 2.8.1.2 on snow leopard movie
Within two hours of walking out of the movie theater, I’d booted my HP Mini netbook into the Mac OS. I followed Mike’s advice, and while the Snow Leopard installation took a while (just as it did to install on my Mac), the process was incredibly easy. Your netbook should now boot into the Mac OS. Turn on the Mini, and when the boot-up process shows to change boot device order, hit and select your external drive as the volume to boot from.Eject the hard drive from the Mac and attach it to your (powered-down) HP Mini.This is the step that magically makes the Mac installation work on non-Apple hardware. Once installation is complete, run NetbookBootMaker, available as a free download here.Launch the Snow Leopard installer select the external hard drive as the destination for your installation.Format an external hard drive and attach it to your Mac.Insert the Mac OS Snow Leopard Installation CD into your Mac.Here’s how Mike told me to test whether I could get the netbook to run the Mac OS:
