[QUOTE="DomDroid, post: 1461523, member: 242812"] [b]Found this[/b] Did a "back up now" in TM to make sure everything was backed up. Shut down and replaced hdd. Booted with SL DVD. Went to utilities and ran disk utility. Formatted hdd. Ran /utilities/restore from backup and picked the latest one. It worked great and was bootable, reinstalling the OS was not necessary. It is faster to clone, but it can be done without a cloner. It does have to re index the drive and re download emails. Things that have a database seem to have to rebuild. :D [/QUOTE]
