[QUOTE="sackandcrack, post: 993261, member: 142623"] put the hard drive back in your old mac. start it up. if it starts up and loads fine, tell it to reboot into target disk mode. you can then connect the macs via fire wire and transfer all your old stuff you want to keep. After that, you can start your old mac with the mac os.x install disks and format the old hard drive to be empty space or mac journaled. take out the old hard drive, put it in the usb thing, and format it with your new mac. there is probably an easier way to do all this, but i dont know. good luck!
