[QUOTE="trpnmonkey41, post: 16690, member: 279"] You hold down c if you can not get into your current OS to boot from cd. Since you have OS 9.2 all you need to do is put in the cd. its very self explanatory and there are no complicated format options. The only real option you have during the install is what type of install you would like to do. Myself included the the most popular choice for installing a new hard drive is the Clean Install option. This is like reformatting your mac almost so you have a fresh computer. If you can back up everything you need I recommend you do this. Upgrade just does what it says. It upgrades the system by rewriting files on top of current system files. Archive and Install creates an archive of all of your current files in a folder and creates a new system set up. [/QUOTE]
