[QUOTE="djsaint, post: 92520"] I installed the drive and then used the OSX installer to format the drive. One annoying problem, I have noticed with formatting from the OSX installer. If you format the drive and then continue through the install, the installer show your drive an unusable HD for install (big red X through it). You have to quit installer and then when it gets to portion of choosing the drive it will then be valid. I have noticed the behavior both on my iBook and PowerMac, I figure their is some kind of checking going on early in the installer start-up. Good luck with install. Cheers, Chuck [/QUOTE]
