[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 977370, member: 95994"] From what u are saying it would seem that you should have a look at the bootable back up scene. Using eg; SuperDuper allows one to actually boot your computer off the Ext HD just by holding Option Key after powering on. The copy is a mirror image and is great protection when u have a computer HD failure, as you can actually boot off another Mac and have all your files as they were. Once you have that copy on your Ext HD - and Firewire is faster than USB so the better choice, FW800 is even faster but depends on which Ext HD you have - then you can do a clean install of Leopard then update to 10.5.8 using combo update [url="http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate.html"]here[/url] then import files back from HD as you need them.
