^ if i do this will it delete the office mac I have on there? I do not have the discs for office it came with ibook when I got it. Is the process hard to do? Never has to do this before.
Yes, it will completely erase the harddrive, and put a new copy of Mac OS X on it. So the person you are selling it to will turn it on, and it will look like a bran new computer. And no, it really isn't hard. It does pretty much everything itself.
1. Insert Mac OS X Install Disc (whatever disc your iBook came with)
2. Run "Install Mac OS X"
3. Click Restart
4. Go through a few menus
5. Select Erase and Install
6. Click OK
That's it, IIRC.
But if you don't have the Office discs, this would be a problem, because it would require you (or them) to reinstall it. I'm not sure about how to reinstall but keep office on there.
Maybe someone else knows?
