Mac OS X 10.6 is the default operating system used on current Apple-built desktops and laptops. If you have a laptop that uses Mac OS X 10.6 and want to format it for a fresh start or to install a new hard drive, the format process works differently from Windows operating systems. You will have to format your hard drive containing Mac OS X by using the installation disc. You can format other drives from within the operating system. Warnings Writer Bio
