    no way.. erase the drives with 'zero all data' and do a fresh install, absolutely!

    its documented everywhere that you shouldd do this procedure witha new box.. i think Apple even recommends it in there support docs.

    if you've got 2 drives i'd recommend partitions too.. leave OSX and apps on 1 full disk and teh second break into partitions..

    i've got my 2nd 250 broken into 5:

    1/ scratch disk (5gb)
    2/ fonts etc
    3/ files
    4/ downloads
    5/ music

    etc etc.
