the problem is that unless you do a 7 pass erace, you don't actually get a clean install.

all; I hope this is not too late for some of you but if you intend to do a clean install, you will need to erace the rive. you have several choices in the erace tab for your disc in disc utility. once you boot using the install disc, you can just erace free space, 0 out data, seven pass and 32 pass erace. your best option is 7 pass erace and that takes 7 hours.Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
