If you did all the steps in the correct way you just have to enter to the motherboard bios configuration and choose usb as the first boot, I had the same problem, so i disconnected the hard drive and just use one hard drive o install osx snow leopard and is working right now.

And don't get desperate be patient

Thanks for the reply!

Do you think I need to just do it on a seperate HDD than my windows 7 install? I wanted to do it on the same drive, just different partitions, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks!

Tell is the safest thing to do if you are trying to install snow leopard. If you don't have one extra hdd, then enter in the motherboard advanced bios configuration and choose usb as the first boot.

Okay, thanks. Also, I'm pretty sure this isn't working for me. I finally got to boot from my external HDD, but it just got stuck.

I had to create a partition in order to get that far, just unpartitioned space wouldn't boot from my external HDD. I'm not sure what the problem is, because I have the same setup as the original poster.

Buy a 8 gigs memory stick and solve the problem

I did. That didn't work initially, so I tried to use an external HDD.

Hiya,

Yea unpartitioned space is not going to boot, it needs a active partition to boot, as long as im reading your post correct, you will need to setup up and OS on the unpartitioned space to be able to boot.

What methods have you actually tried, it may help to list them all her so we can see where its going wrong!,

Hope ya get it working soon.

Kind regards
