Re - Re-install OSX on SSD

[LMacMac]

Hello all,

I've done a search but couldn;t find this precise answer.

I installed Snow Leopard on a brand new SSD, however I had a fiasco with DVD player and deleting some of the framework.

I now wish to re-reinstall The OS - what is the best way to without compromising the performance? I'm not bothered about wiping or anything.

First time around I did 1 Partition, that is all. Do i just do the same? Format as 1 partition and let it sort itself out?

Advice & opinions most appreciated

Hello,

- boot up from the DVD
- launch (Utilities) Disk Utility
- select the Macintosh HD partition
- go to the "Erase tab", erase the partition as Mac OS extended (journaled)
- to be sure, go to the "partition" tab, replace "Current" for "1 partition"
- click "Options"
- make sure that "GUID partition table" is selected
- click OK
- click Apply

- quit Disk Utility

- install the OS
