I have a 15" Macbook Pro here with a formatted drive with Mac OSX Journaled.
I put in a retail copy of Snow Leopard and upon starting I hit and hold the Option key until it shows the OSX DVD icon. I click on it but then it changes to the regular Apple logo and stays there.
Is it a bad optical drive? If it was then how com eit recognized the disc i nthe first place?

How old is the MBP? If the SL disc you have has an older build on it than when the computer was built, it's not going to work. For example, if the machine came with SL 10.6.8 already installed and your disc is 10.6.0, you're out of luck. -
The disc is 10.6 and I know for a fact that the computer was bought after that. I think this may be the cause. Gonna go buy a new disc right now. Thanks a lot!
