Hello, I just purchased a new 750 GB internal HD for my Macbook Pro. I have created a bootable backup (to restore all my files onto the new drive) on an external and tested it. Once my new HD is installed how do I go about loading OSX onto it? Do I have to install leopard first then snow leopard? Do I have to format the drive? How do I go about formatting it?
Got a tip for us?
