[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1185223, member: 190607"] Hello, and Welcome! I'm not sure that I understand what you want to accomplish. If what you want to do is install a complete and fresh copy of the Mac operating system, there is no "code" that you can use to do that. For that you will need a set of system disks. Fortunately, for OS X 10.6 (the most recent version of the Mac OS), they aren't terribly expensive: Macintosh OS X 10.6 $29 [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTM3NDgwNzM]Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] However, if you are asking for a way to make sure that the current installation of your system software is in good repair, and/or repair it if it is not functioning perfectly, there *is* a code of sorts that you can use to accomplish that. It is called "FSCK" (short for File System Check) and here are Apple's directions for running it: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck[/url] I hope that answers your question. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
