    i trie to install boot camp several times and now my disk is so messed up and corrupted... i cant see any partitions... it just reads the disk as used space... When i reinstall MAC OS from cd it doesnt format the HD completely...

    Is there a way i can completely format my HD and install mac os from scratch.

    When installing OS X from the DVD, right before you choose the partition you want to install OS X on, click on Utilities menu (top bar) and then choose Disk Utility. You can then format your whole disk from there, create the OS X partition and install Leopard.
