Start the SL installation process. When you see on the display an menu bar on top, click on UTILITIES. From the drop down menu select Disk Utility. Choose Disk Utility>Erase and format the new internal HDD to Mac OS Extended (journaled). The continue the OSX installation.


Ciao.


After the OSX is installed, update SL to 10,68 via Software Update. Then you may reinstall Mavericks.
