Thanks, Reza In the installer, when choosing a disk to install to, check "Erase disk and format as..." and select the file system you want (probably HFS+). With this option checked, the installer will format the hard disk before installing, eliminating your problem. If you have any important files, boot from a Mac OS 9 CD and back them up first. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
