[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 355764, member: 2960"] This can be done rather easily in 10 simple steps. [B]Step 1:[/B] Get your restore discs and your original packaging (you'll need it) [B]Step 2:[/B] Back up all of your important files on your MacBook. Make sure to keep anything that you don't want to lose. [B]Step 3:[/B] After you have backed up your files, insert your MacBook restore disc and reboot while holding down the 'C' key. [B]Step 4:[/B] When the machine boots, go to Disk Utility and erase the HD. Then create one partition. Choose the HFS+ option (this is important). Keep in mind, doing this is going to wipe your drive clean, removing anything that is currently on it, so again, I hoped you backed up your important info.) [B]Step 5:[/B] When the disk is clean, reboot again with the MacBook restore disc in the drive while holding down the 'C' key. [B]Step 6:[/B] When the installer comes up, choose your HD and install all of the original OS files and software that came on the MacBook when you first received it. [B]Step 7:[/B] When the OS/Software restoration is complete, shut down the computer. [B]Step 8:[/B] After the computer is shut down, carefully repack the computer in the original packaging that you were sure to gather up in Step 1. [B]Step 9:[/B] If it has been less than 14 days since you purchased the computer, call up Apple or take it to the Apple Store you purchased it from and let them know you would like to return the computer. You will be charged a restocking fee, but that is minimal. If it has been more than 14 days since you purchased the computer, take out an ad in the local newspaper or set up an auction on craigslist or eBay to sell your MacBook to the highest bidder. [B]Step 10:[/B] Go to [url]www.dell.com[/url] and configure yourself a new Windows-based notebook. Then order that notebook and Dell will ship it directly to your door. :black: [/QUOTE]
