[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1628897, member: 131855"] That should get the job done but I have a different idea I'd like to suggest. The cost will depend upon whether you have an external hard drive around or whether you would have to purchase one. When you get the Mac set the preferences the way you like make any settings changes etc. Once that is done make a bootable clone of the system. With that in place you could boor from that drive and get the system up and running easily. I ran one of my Macs like that for three or four days while waiting for a replacement drive. The two most commonly recommended pieces of cloning software on the forum are SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner. [/QUOTE]
