Hi everyone,
Hope you're well this is my first post here.
I have an old A1181 MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard which i am looking to wipe and sell.
I have made a USB Boot Drive using Disk Utility and a Snow Leopard .dmg. Restored in the correct way OS Extended Journaled, GUID Partition. Also a few other variations.
However when i startup and hold the Option Key i am only presented with my internal HDD. No online recovery or USB drive.
Im afraid my CD drive no longer works. I have tried both USB sockets. I have also tried using a terminal code to force boot it from USB but it started the same as before. I forget what the code was now.
Is there anyway of doing this outside of Recovery Mode? Ie fresh install and data erased.
Cheers
Oli
