Wow I just wanted to see how to do this just to know.

I now also know they're pretty on the inside.

I love how the guy talking is doing that extremely calm voice the whole video.

Update:

I fixed the "drive not visible" by using Disk Utility to erase drive. And then it was visible and I proceeded to format the new drive installing Leopard.
