[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 409682, member: 3889"] I'm unclear as to whether you are not running Tech Tools from Tech Tools' disk after booting the computer from that same Tech Tools disk. Running the installed Tech Tools version on the hard drive won't work because a running system can't fix itself. If the apps are dragged to the external, and you drag the apps from the external to the 8600, the only parts of the apps that won't copy are each app's preferences and some of their extensions — if they have any — that reside in the system folder. (Microsoft's Internet Explorer, for instance, would need to be reloaded. It litters the drive with its own files, including the system's Extensions folder.) Otherwise, simply dragging the apps over should present no problem. I'd be tempted to drag the Extensions folder over, as well, and after a new system is installed, try to run it with the old Extensions folder. But this might be risky if the problem stems from that folder. [/QUOTE]
