Re-installing OS X after installing Ubuntu
Ok, here it goes.
I had 10.4 installed, and loved it. But i wanted to test out Ubuntu. I wanted to see the performance difference of that on my Mac in comparisson to a PC with similar amount of RAM and processor speed.
Ubuntu took some tweaking but worked beautifully. Now my fun is over. I'm done with Linux on the Mac and want OS X back on it.
I take the OS X cds that came with the system, boot from them, hold C, and voila. I'm in the setup menu. I go through all the menus until it asks to pick a destination for OS X to install. And it doesn't give me any choices.
I does not see a hard drive at all. Now i'm mostly a windows guy, and becoming more and more of a linux guy, so i'm guessing this has something to do with the linux partitions not being seen or something along those lines, but i have zero clue as how to approach the scneario.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will the Disk Util allow me to delete all partitions on it and create the partitions needed for OS X?
