I tried booting of the 10.6 DVD and it just said that it couldnt install this software on this computer.

Any suggestions
1) Start your Mac from OSX 10.6.8 partition.
2) Launch Disk Utility.app and format a new partition with HFS+.
3) Insert 10.6 DVD.
4) Launch Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/), and type:
open /Volumes/Mac*Install*/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg
5) Install OSX 10.6 to the new partition.
6) Don't reboot after installation.
7) Launch 10.6.7 Combo Update, and apply it to the new partition (This step may not be necessary if using Pro Tools 9.0.5 or 6).
8) Reboot from the new partition.
9) Install Pro Tools 9.0.6 or 10.0.0 to update the firmware of HD Native card.
