[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1067895, member: 56379"] Whether you get an install disk from e-Bay or the Apple Store...you shouldn't lose anything from your hard drive (as long as you don't reformat the hard drive). Of course it's always a good idea to have a backup of your hard drive. Also remember we don't know exactly what's going on with your computer at the moment. If your hard drive had gone bad in some way...then there is a good chance of data loss. Yes you want the "black" OS install disk with a BIG "X" on it. You DO NOT want gray disks. You also don't want an "upgrade" or "drop-in" black disk (but these are rare, and it will say this on the disk). These "black" discs generally sell for $100+ on e-Bay. - Nick [/QUOTE]
