[QUOTE="phill1909, post: 1151048, member: 181693"] Hi there I am complete newbie to this so forgive my lack of 'mac awareness'. I have recently aquired an old apple mac computer but have no discs or recovery cds. As you can imagine the computer is crammed full of old stuff I want to get rid of. None of this needs to be kept. After looking through other forums I see that a full system restore cannot be completed without a 'disc utility'? Unless someone can tell me different. So if this is not possible I was wondering if I bought the snow leopard upgrade (cheap one) would I be able to do a clean install using just the new disc? Any help on this would be good as I would quite like to use this mac. From what I have found out about it its a late 2006 model. Run OS 10.4.11? Im noot sure if this helps? Any help would be greatly appriciated from the experts. Thanks [/QUOTE]
