[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1008464, member: 24160"] Just a heads up, besides just having a backup, this is another great use for a bootable backup. I've messed up my installation several times and a quick boot to the external had me back up and running again in a matter of a couple of minutes. The other option you may have if you have another Mac is using [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661"]firewire target disk mode[/URL]. I'm not sure you'll have many more options if you can't boot the system with access to the file system to move the original file back either through Finder or Terminal. [/QUOTE]
