[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 992115, member: 95994"] Before you race off and start the process it may be profitable to just check that the worst case is covered. Do you have the install disks that came with the Mac? Doing a Archive and Install off that gives you a fresh OS and your old files user files will still be on the HD. If u start dragging Apps around you could get into trouble. Better still use Superduper to make a mirror copy onto your External HD then that is there as insurance if it goes 'Pear Shaped' re installing OS [/QUOTE]
