[QUOTE="6string, post: 1088946, member: 120039"] So, the best bet would be to boot from your install disc (holding C as you boot) and perform a clean install (erasing your HD) using disk utility. To get to disk utility after booting, select the language, click continue, and go to utilities in the menu bar. Once you erase the HD, you will see the size of the HD and the free space before you quit disk utility and continue the installation. *Be sure to format as Mac Os Extended (journaled). [/QUOTE]
