Mac is stuck on Apple screen

[arian19]

So I currently have lion installed on my macbook pro 17 inch, 8gb of RAM and 500 gb. However, I would still like to use Mac OS Snow Leopard because of rosetta. So I created a 60gb partition, and I am currently tring to install snow leopard... and it wont let me... i even bought the retail disk for snow leopard from apple. However, when I try booting from the disk, It gets stuck on the Apple icon... What would you guys recomend I do? I formated the partition in Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)...

If your Mac came with Lion, it cannot run Snow Leopard without major modifications. And it will not boot or install from a Snow Leopard retail disc.

my mac came with Snow Leopard, it's mid 2010

You'll have to use the restore discs to reinstall Snow Leopard on to it. The Retail discs are too old for your machine.

I just bought this retail disk from Apple, and it shipped to my house literally 1 day ago...

But it's Mac OS X 10.6.3, not 10.6.6 which your Mac needs.
