[QUOTE="Raquinator, post: 1282141, member: 211297"] Yeah, I saw the LifeHacker guide and was using it, though I had already used Boot Camp at that point. The good thing is, this is a new HD that I recently installed, so starting fresh won't hurt anything, since I've already backed things up on my external. (Had to do it manually, since I originally completely stripped it of its formatting and made it plug-and-play. Thus, if I were to have formatted it, it would've cleaned it.) Good to know I have to re-do it though. Thank you for your help. :) One other quick question - If I am running Lion right now, and I only have the Snow Leopard install disk, will I need to re-purchase it in order to upgrade it? Or will I be able to just log into my account for the App Store to download/install it? Is there any way to burn a disc of it, juts so I have a hard copy, or (what I assume) is that it would be illegal to do so? Thanks again for the help! :) [/QUOTE]
