I cant get ANYTHING to install on the mac mini. i have a snow leopard disk and leopard disk.... tried both no luck. ive tried doing a usb boot that also hasn't worked. anyone have any info? thanks
 
it seems like i have gotten every error there is.. i have gotten the "u must restart the computer" also alot of freezes during the installation or osx cannot be installed. idk whats going on.
 
when i try and make a bootable usb drive from disk utility i get "Could not restore - Cannot allocate memory"
 
You have to provide better information if you want help. Specifics are important or people will not waste time trying to guess.

Which mini are we talking about? What CPU, Ram, etc.

Are you installing from the internal DVD drive? Are you using the retail DVD or trying to use a system DVD from another Mac. What is this about some USB drive.

You need to explain exactly what you are doing step by step.

Cheers,
