[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1756612, member: 46727"] It's been a while since I installed Snow Leopard from that same DVD but I think you're missing a step. After the software agreement and language selection, you need to go to the top menu that should be showing and select "Utilities". After clicking on "Utilities", select "Disk Utility". From there you can partition, and format the hard disk. Actually there is no need to partition, just use the entire hard disk to install Snow Leopard to. In other words, do not let the installation progress beyond the software agreement and language selection. You stop it by doing what I said above. Remember, you have to format that hard disk first in order to install OS X. If you still get an error, that means that GParted screwed up the disk and you will now have to erase it first. You can do that by using Disk Utility (see above). [/QUOTE]
