[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1265370, member: 38864"] All Macs come with an installation disk. Except MacBook Airs, I think. It's hard to know what may or may not be messed up. However, I do think you should be fine migrating your user from the Time Machine backup. Here's a guide: [url=http://www.cultofmac.com/how-to-upgrade-to-snow-leopard-the-right-way/15141]How-To: Upgrade To Snow Leopard — The Right Way | Cult of Mac[/url] Go with the "Start from Scratch" option they present, but you can skip steps 1 and 2 if you are confident that your Time Machine backup has everything you want on it.
