[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 916372, member: 56379"] You need to format the hard drive first. When you are doing the OS install...when you get to the step where you are supposed to choose a destination device to install the OS (and your new hard drive doesn't show up)...you need to go to the menu bar & open "Disk Utility". Then format the hard drive. Now quit Disk Utility, return to the installer, and your hard drive should show up now. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
