[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1123554, member: 24098"] Only a retail disc or a system disk specific to that model will work. Time Machine doesn't work that way. How are you ascertaining that only certain files were backed up? If you're just casually browsing the directory, that doesn't tell the whole picture. If you had a Leopard disc, you can boot from it and opt to restore from a Time Machine backup, which will put your machine back to the state it was in before you formatted. [/QUOTE]
