I just bought a used MacBook (2 GHz, 1 Meg RAM). It has system 10.4 on it and I want to install 10.5. While I usually do an "Archive and Install" when updating software, in this case I will do a complete Erase and Install, in order to completely clear off the previous owner's stuff, and put the computer into more of a "like-new" state.
My question is: should I first re-format the hard drive? Or does the Erase and Install do enough? I.e. is there any reason to re-format, before I do the Erase and Install? If so, are there recommended re-format settings or options I need to know about for when I do it?
Thanks!
