[QUOTE="Noels, post: 642246, member: 49942"] dannieboiz, Not sure what you're trying to do. If your HDD or OS goes south, where would you go for the .cdr file? It would probably be gone too... I'd put it on a DVD to have in my back pocket in case you need to re-install the OS on a new HDD. If you just want to re-install the OS, why not just use your Mac install disc? Having a backup HDD is almost a necessity in these days of paranoia... Try downloading and using SuperDuper and back up the entire drive to an external HDD. SuperDuper is free for that purpose (you can buy with extended capabilities) and the image it creates is also bootable - neat feature. Not sure this answers your question... Noel [/QUOTE]
