Replacing Hard Drive

[JLUGO35]

After seeing the system requirements for Windows 7, I decided to upgrade to a larger hard drive later this week. I plan on giving my old 160 gig drive to a friend who uses Windows but I want to wipe it clean first. Do I insert my Leopard disc and use disk utility to reformat?

Yes, the drive can be erased and formatted as FAT32 for windows using Disk Utility.

He'll need to go to FAT32, and then once in the Windows machine, re-reformat it to NTFS for use with Windows7.
