[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1348979, member: 8287"] The funny thing is, I have installed new hard drives many times in Macs and only had a Time Machine Backup. I booted from the OSX DVD and selected restore from Time Machine Backup and selected the backup. Everything was right where it was before the HDD died. Is OSX being installed from the DVD then the files put back? It was all one operation like the whole OS was backed up in Time Machine. I just looked in my Time Machine backup folder on my 1TB drive and everything was there. The backup was the full size of my OSX install drive. Confusing. Either it's getting the OSX part from the DVD or the Backup, but it works. Done it at least 10 times now. [/QUOTE]
