[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1508674, member: 131855"] It should not hurt the current system. Follow the instructions carefully. Once the file has been downloaded [B]do not[/B] continue with the installation or the file you need will be deleted upon completion of the installation. This will give you something to fall back on and should get you back up and running with the basic system that can be updated through Software Update. Assuming that your system is currently working well consider creating a bootable clone of your hard drive. Everything on the drive is copied to an external hard drive. In the event of a disaster you boot the Mac from the external drive and clone back to the internal. To do this you need an external hard drive slightly larger than the internal drive. You also need [URL="http://www.bombich.com"]cloning software [/URL]. I like this process because, assuming the clone is kept current, I won't have to reinstall much third party software. [/QUOTE]
