I'm using this guide in order to install Mac OS X on my G41M-ES2L setup: Retail Snow Leopard DVD install for G41M-ES2L (USB Method) →

However, when I try to restore the Snow Leopard Retail DMG image to my 8 GB USB Stick, it fails at the end of the restore process (no matter how often I try).

The error message says:

Wiederherstellung fehlgeschlagen - Speicher kann nicht zugewiesen werden

which means something like "Restore failed - memory can't be allocated"

How can I solve this issue to be able to proceed with the installation?

Did you uncheck "erase destination" / "Zielmedium löschen"?
