Installing SnowLeopard Mac-I need Help!

[AppleMactablet]

I'm back...

I just installed a new HDD into my Mac Mini
I hit disk Utility
Do I Partition the HDD? what Partitioning?

I just want to install snow leopard onto the new HDD

BTW I want to run boot camp off this HDD later.

Make sure it's set for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Single partition.

Partitioning is a personal preference. We can't judge that for you. Don't make that preference based on installing Windows - BootCamp will do the partitioning for you when you get to that point. Do not forget to backup your harddrive before installing Windows.

All you HAVE to do is format the drive, then install the OS.

Do not forget to choose GPT as the partition scheme to use (GUID Partition Table). Intel Macs REQUIRE it to boot.
