[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1400489"] If you're not going to use a particular hard drive on Windows equipment (ie you're going to use with your Mac only), then just format it for Mac. Done. As for "replacement discs," for your MacBook I'd suggest you call Apple -- depending on how old the MacBook is (ie the version of OS X that shipped with it) you would probably get them cheapest that way. A new retail disk of Snow Leopard (10.6) is $30, but does not include the iLife software that came with your Mac. [/QUOTE]
