[QUOTE="jaybiz32, post: 1417807, member: 173838"] I am looking to install a new larger capacity hdd into my macbook 6,1. I understand all the technical aspects of installing the drive. Where I am confused is when I now install the original OS factory disc(snow leopard) What do I have to do to format or partition the drive. Some say go to disc utility and hit erase. Some say hit partition and name the drive. Also all of my data is up to date on my time capsule(time machine) so do I need to do a full os reinstall or can I just restore using time machine? Thanks [/QUOTE]
