[QUOTE="baggss, post: 371044, member: 6762"] One thing to keep in mind. A clean install of OSX is NOT like a clean install on Windows. Unless you specifically tell the installer to wipe the drive, you're not going to lose any data. Both a "Clean" install and an "Archive and Install" simply put a new bootable system on your computer but do not destroy the old bootable system or any files in the process. The computer experts you took the machine to did nothing other than insert the discs and select install. All of your data was left alone by default. [/QUOTE]
