[QUOTE="som jelly 1, post: 1176080, member: 185508"] Use an external HDD as a backup destination for Time Machine. Back up your computer files (exclude the system folder and any other folders you choose to exclude) and backup. It may take a while if this is your first backup. After it backs up, use the disks that came with your computer. Boot off of the OS X disk and select "Disk Utility" under the Utilities Menu. If you only have one partition, then just reformat your HDD. If not, wipe the partition Mac OS X is stored on. Then, install Snow Leopard from the disks and restore your Time Machine backup. Make sure everything goes smoothly, and then just run Software Update and update your computer. [/QUOTE]
