When I try to install Snow Leopard, I get message "Mac OS X cannot be installed on "Macintosh HD". This disc is used for Time Machine backups." How do I disable TM to enable installation of Snow Leopard? I would like to get rid of TM backups and don't especially want to use TM on this computer. I have trashed com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, emptied trash, and restarted Mac. Time Machine preference slider set to Off. Screen says "Choose Backup Disk." Thanks for help. Don
