I partitioned as described. Does this mean the partition sequence, erases, formats and partitions the drive? Cause now I got to thinking, if it only made a partition and this thing is upgrading on the main partition again. Didnt quite get that part. But in any case, I followed your directions to the T. Hopefully this macbook doesn't keep surprising me with endless curveballs…. Thanks for a great how-to for noobies… Preciate it g-money

This is less comment and more question: The very first step has presented a bit of a problem for me. Well, not the first step, I inserted the disk just fine. Instead of getting the “Welcome” screen, I get “Mac OS X can’t be installed on this computer. This disc requires that Mac OX X 10.5 or later already be installed.” I now have the option to either Restart (which does just that) or “Restore From Backup”. If I choose to restore, it begins searching for a Time Machine backup (which I don’t have), it does give me the option of plugging in my external disc, but doesn’t respond in any way when I do.
I went ahead and deleted the old hard drive (yes, after backing everything up on the previously mentioned external drive) just to see if that would make it work, but nothing. I had thought that with a clean install it wouldn't matter (because it wouldn't be able to tell) if I had OS X 10.5, why does it say that I need it?
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks!
