Problem Solved. No need to fart around with the Snow Installer, which no longer has archive and install, and you can't just load Rosetta. Vs. MS has the upgrade as part of the SP1 etc. updates.

However, writing zeros to the disk after formatting solved the problem. Btw, the disk was an upgraded disk for my MacBook Pro that had only been formatted after installation. Carbon Copy Cloner had previously cloned mynsystem to it. I’ve run into this pro lem before, and in my case, no amount of reformatting would help.

Unfortunately, some software needs it, and you won't know for sure until the warning appears on your desktop that you need it. MacTheRipper 2.6.6 is one of the items on the list.

My question is, what’s the downside of installing Rosetta ?
