[QUOTE="6string, post: 1033646, member: 120039"] I would actually zero out the HD using the first option (zero out deleted files), and then install either Leopard and go straight to [url=http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update]Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update[/url] or Snow Leopard and go straight to [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017]Mac OS X v10.6.3 Update (Combo)[/url] without installing anything else. Then, test the system. If all is well, then reinstall your 3rd party apps fresh from the install discs, or direct from the vendors. Test again to see that everything is fine. Next, I would manually drag over from my external drive my docs, movies, music and pics, and [B]nothing else[/B]. There is no reason that everything shouldn't be running fine at this stage. [/QUOTE]
