[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 886323, member: 24160"] Yes, you can do an Archive & Install if that is a proper disk, e.g. the retail disk or the disk that shipped with your computer. There's no reason to be re-installing OS X that often unless you're doing things you shouldn't be to break it. A much better route would be to spend what today really is an insignificant amount for an external drive and keep a bootable backup with CCC or SuperDuper!. With either one of them, in an hour or less, you can have the internal drive restored. [/QUOTE]
