[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1028020, member: 26315"] Since you already have a Time Machine backup. I would suggest to 1. use that or make a new TM backup if the old one is out of date. 2. Erase your hard drive. Zeroing out the drive is nice too. But the 7 and 35 zero pass options I think are a waste of time for what you want to do. 3. Reinstall SL on the erased HD. 4. Use TM to get all your data back on the HD. 5. Use the Application Onyx as the above poster mentioned. It's a nifty little OS X mantainance app. And always nice to use that on a regular basis. Using Super Duper or CCC is not the best way in my opinion. SD and CCC are not better or worse than using TM. They are just different ways of doing the same task. Some people like doing it one way, other people like doing it another way. [/QUOTE]
