I want install Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro after I formatted Snow Leopard.
The Macbook is now empty with no OS on it.
How can I install Windows 7 on my MBP that has a formatted hard drive?

Best Answer
You need to boot from the OS X install DVD which was bundled with your Mac (start the Mac with pressed C while the DVD is inserted). Launch "Disk Utility via "Utility" in the menu bar and create a partition which is "MS DOS FAT" formatted. If its done replace the DVD with the Windows install DVD and boot again with pressed C button. After the Windows install assistant has started, reformat the partition to NTFS and continue installing Windows.
Be aware that Windows OEM versions won't work. It must be a retail version.
