Snow Leopard on a new HD

[musicdan]

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now I want to upgrade my HD from 120 to 500 GB. How do I re-install Snow Leopard? Do I have to install Leopard first? I have the disks that came with my MacBook, and obviously the Snow Leopard family pack which I used on the MacBook and my iMac.

No, you do not have to install Leopard first
Just use your SL DVD

But you could just clone your HDD and restore it to your new HDD

One thing to keep in mind is that if you put in a new drive, you'll have to first run Disk Utility to initialize the drive. You can do this from the Utilities menu when you boot off the SL installer disk.

Otherwise, the installer won't see a disk it can install itself on.

Thanks guys, I think I will clone it.

Time Machine would be a good way to do this if you have an external HD.
