[QUOTE="darkpilatus, post: 1075247, member: 68671"] Ok so I messed up trying to install a new harddrive on my wife's macbook... I know this is one of those things that shouldn't be difficult but for some reason is... So for some reason when I installed the OS on the new drive something went wrong and I want to start over and wipe the new drive clean... it wont let me wipe the OS and start over. This is what I want to do once the drive is cleared off. Install the clean new drive and reinstall the backup off an external drive using time machine... is this possible? If so is there a definitive tutorial online that doesn't give me mixed advice like the couple that i used before? Thx [/QUOTE]
