[QUOTE="bwanojohnny, post: 892271, member: 116855"] [b]Install CD in.[/b] Used FO command option to get root for CD drive to get install CD in. Can't figure out how to format new drive. Looks like the "1' upper HD is completely dead. Then new Hitachi drive shows up as 450GB, but I cannot figure out how to format it or get started. I think the dead Hardrive in the upper bay is hanging me up. I'm going to replace it with a matching Hitachi and start over in a few days. My external HD is firewire Iomega eDrive. It shows up in Disk Utility also. Thanks for your help. John [/QUOTE]
