[QUOTE="fullrun, post: 798057, member: 85081"] [FONT="Trebuchet MS"][B]Several months ago we upgraded successfully our G5 to Leopard. We now wish to give the G5 to a friend. But before doing so, I want to erase, reformat, and reinstall the Leopard OS. The desired result is to remove all documents, and third party applications and present them with a clean computer. Questions: [LIST=1] [*]Do I have to go back an reinstall the orginal G5 OS disk or can I do that by reinstalling the retail version of Leopard? [*]Since my computer background is in Windows, can someone outline the steps that I need to take to complete the operation successfully? [/LIST] Your assistance is appreciated. Thank you.
