    installinf mac os X

    Ok, so reinstalling mac OS is easy... just pop in the disc and reinstal..

    but has anyone installed mac osx on a blank HDD... like bought a new HDD put it in their mac and installed mac os X fom scratch?

    are the install discs bootable?

    CD is bootable - put CD in, press and hold C as you hear the chime. Once the grey spinning gear appears let go.

    It's really simple to do, as lowe says just hold down the c key.

    Then it's a case of stepping through the wizard.

    Far more simple than a windows reinstall as all the drivers are done.

    at present it seems anything is far simpler than windows!
    Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?
