[QUOTE="SuperPang, post: 1134501, member: 147523"] I'm selling my Macbook Pro and want to return it to factory settings for the buyer. I put the OSX Install DVD in and held C. I didn't get an "Erase and Install" option so I went into the utilities, zeroed Macintosh HD and then went through the install procedure. The Mac now boots with the welcome sequence so it all looks good but when I finished the install it said I may need to re-install the Applications if I erased the HDD. So, basically what I want to know is, do I need to install the apps from the other disc and what's the best way as obviously I can't check if everything's present and correct without setting up again and if I did that I'd be back to square one. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
