[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1328583, member: 46727"] It doesn't sound like you had very much on the MacIntosh HD that was recoverable with only 176 KB copied. Just attach the external hard drive to your Mac and selectively drag and drop what you need back. Don't use Time Machine from the Recovery utilities as that will try to put everything back. That might not work after the clean install. Also, keep an eye out on that hard drive. If you get even one hint of an error on the drive, backup immediately and be prepared to swap it out for a new one. [/QUOTE]
