[QUOTE="s2odin, post: 1162717, member: 176525"] But if you dont have an OS on a new hard drive, what good is restoring files? It doesn't have an OS to restore them onto so you need [b]an[/b] OS on the new hard drive. And just because your use the OS X install disk, and if you dont install the OS, it does no good. An exact image is just that, an exact image. TM does not do this. If you have a new hard drive and no OS and try to reinstall from TM it won't do the OS because it's not bootable therefore not an exact image. [/QUOTE]
