[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1023150"] You can do this with just the Snow Leopard retail disk you have. Boot up from the Snow Leopard disc, choose "English" as your language (assuming that's your native language, otherwise use that) and then go to the menubar and choose "Disk Utility." From there you can totally erase the drive (I suggest "zero out" under "Security options" -- it takes a little while but it's super clean). Once that's done you can proceed with an install. Despite being called an "upgrade disc," it will do a clean install in this fashion on discs that were previously formatted with Leopard or Snow Leopard (even Tiger, I am told). [/QUOTE]
