Having setup my new iMac I now need to prepare my old iMac for sale. Any advice on how best to accomplish this task will be most welcome.

Regards,

Fixerman :)

After you've moved whatever data over to the new iMac that you want, pop in your SL disc, when you get the menu bar, head for Utilities - Disk Utility. Head for the Erase tab and erase the drive, Partition tab to re-partition and format the drive, when done, proceed with re-installing SL.

All done without a hitch and already listed on eBay. Thanks for your advice folks!:)
