[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1527668, member: 56379"] This is a very good idea...especially since the OP mentioned that both of the MacBook's they have are exactly the same (no OS version issues). The two things we don't know are: 1. What OS version is on the HD that needs to be erased (if it has a recovery partition or not to boot into)...then erase the main partition. 2. If the HD has 10.6 or earlier on it...and if so...then the OP will need an OS DVD to boot into...in order to erase the HD. Again...a very good idea.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
