I just got my new macbook pro 13inch in mail today. Also got my new Intel x-25 SSD in mail today too. I installed the hard drive in the new macbook and put in the install cd right away and powered it on. How do I install the operating system?? I go through the steps and when it comes up to selecting where to put the operating system no choices appear. When i got into system profiler under serial-ata drivers it shows the intel SSD with 149.05 GB left. Any ideas on what to do?? Thx
Got a tip for us?

You have to format the HDD to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Once you boot off the install DVD, on the menu bar at the top there is a Utilities menu. Click on that then Disk Utility. From there, click your HDD and then Erase tab to the right and format to what I stated above. After that, you should be able install.
