[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1162713, member: 26315"] Not the case. As far as I know you can use time machine from the OS X disc. And install your time machine backup from there. Not sure if you need the OS on the computer to do that. But the option is there. I would assume you don't need the OS on the hard drive first cause it is on the OS X install disc. Not exactly. Time Machine does make a duplicate of the drive. But it's not bootable in itself. It's just there so you can do one of 3 things. 1. Restore you entire system and apps direct from the OS X install disc 2. Do point 1 but after you have installed the OS. 3. Go back in time to get a specific Application or file from the past.
