[QUOTE="mselisabs, post: 1037057, member: 151313"] I am ready to dive into the Mac world a not look back! I'm a previous PC user and looking for a used Mac. Found a good deal with one 'catch' - he can't seem to get OS X back on. I consider myself slightly more tech savvy then the average person (or maybe my computer-illiterate husband makes me feel good!) Here is part of his ad: "I tried downloading windows7 and deleted all the partions. Now I am stuck with just windows 7 ultimate and can't get any apple stuff to come up. It runs window 7 perfect and very fast. Maybe someone with apple skills could get os 10..6.2 back on." Think this is doable? Seems he just deleted the 'Mac partition' but I've done a bit of research and it seems like I could completely wipe the HD and reinstall OS X. Since it's going to be new to me I don't worry about saving any data or saving Windows 7, just want a clean install of OS X. Don't mind spending an hour or few fixing it to save a few hundred bucks! Thanks guys! :D [/QUOTE]
