Please, if thats an illegal version of OSX you are referring to... stop right there.

If not, your problem is because its a dual layer disk (DVD-9 - ~8gb). You need a blank DL disk (more expensive than normal) and a burner which can support it (recent ones mostly do as well as higher end older ones)

There is no downloadable version of 10.6, unless you're an Authorized Apple Service Provider. If that's the case, you wouldn't be asking about burning a DL image to a SL disc.

I suggest this thread ends here.

Indeed. I didnt know that. Thread locked.
