[QUOTE="Kash, post: 370813, member: 23444"] Definitely. Think about it. How else would people format their drives when swapping in a new one since both OEM and retail drives are unformatted? ;) All you need to do is pop the install disc in, hold C as you're booting, and it'll start the OS X installation. Then look to the top for Disk Utility and you'll be able to format to your heart's content :black: [/QUOTE]
