[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1209108, member: 46727"] You'll need to boot the machine with your Tiger install DVD. After it boots, go to Disk Utility, highlight the drive, (top entry) click on Partition. Remove the extra two partitions by selecting them one by one and press the - minus button. After that's done, erase the entire hard drive, format it as HFS Extended Journaled, select the GUID partition scheme, and then proceed with installing Tiger. After Tiger is installed, you can use your Leopard upgrade DVD to bring it up to date. Or if you wish, buy a copy of Snow Leopard and use it instead to do the erase and install. [/QUOTE]
