| Yes, you won't be able to install OS X on a hard drive formatted ext2 OS X wants you to use a partition formatted MacOS Extended (journalled) through Disk Utility.

| You can access Disk Utility from Mac OS X install disc. The options for formatting you have are HFS+ and HFS+ case-sensitive. Select the previous, aka Mac OS Journaled, it will work better.
