It seems that they were all running into problems formatting the drive I was using, and I am still not sure what the problem was. The problem was that none of those methods were working for me. There are no shortage of tutorials on various pages for doing this, and a number of developers have even created applications to take care of the dirty work for you. The solution was to make a bootable USB drive. There were some things that I had done to my existing installation that I wanted purged, and it had collected clutter since Snow Leopard was first released - yeah it has been a very stable OS. So I began looking to upgrade, and to my surprise the most recent version of OS X (10.9 Mavericks) was a free upgrade. Very recently (within the last two weeks) I have found just two applications that I was interested in, but unable to install on my vintage OS X. All the applications I have wanted to use were supported on Snow Leopard, and even people I know who worked for Apple were unable to give a compelling reason to upgrade. I have put off updating my OS X install since Snow Leopard.
