Hello Nic Yes, but as I have just said, you cannot format the HD. We need to have it case sensitive.

This means that, if you hold Command-R after the startup chime, then click "Reinstall Mac OS X" from the Utilities in the Recovery utility, the Mac should prompt you to log onto a Wi-Fi network or plug in an ethernet cable in order to download the proper application from Apple's servers, then the installation should proceed when the download is complete. This is how, in theory, it is supposed to work for both OS X Server and OS X.
