Installing snowleopard on an 11 inch Air - Newb help!


hi all,

bit of newbe question here suspect.
picked 11 inch air 2nd hand.
it's couple of years old, , comes leopard, 2 gigs of ram, , 128 ssd.
lovely little machine.
i'm trying install snowleopard.
have bootable disk image of snow leopard on external usb hard drive.
i've been able use before fresh installs/ upgrades on other computers.
things aren't going smoothly time however.
holding down "c" during boot won't bring me disk utility, i've tried install snow leopard within leopard, clicking on cd image , following instructions.
install seems start fine, after 20%, laptop restarts, , message:
" need restart computer etc etc "

i've been able run snow leopard on machine external carbon copy drive, know it's happy enough run snow leopard.
i've been able use particular copy of snow leopard before on other machines.
ideas i'm doing wrong?
reset pram see if that.
machine runs great in leopard, there apps download app store, that's reason i'd snowleopard.

reading,
jesse
