I bought a used Mac Book, has Linux on it now, I have Lion op on the way. I don't know much about Mac and would like to know what file system to format the hard drive to. Or will the new install disc do that for me? I thought I posted this ? earlier but got a phone call & couldn't find it. So if I posted twice I'm so sorry.
Thanks for any help!!!!!

OS X Extended (Journaled), it's the right one.
Before you actually hit the "GO" button, choose Options and select GUID instead of MBR or Apple
Thanks for your reply's, I'm sure I will be back after I get this thing up and running and start learning Mac software.
By the way, it is Snow Leapord that I bought and should be here by Monday.
