[QUOTE="christm, post: 399400, member: 14453"] you could lock or password protect or read only protect the files/folders you dont want to be touched then move your backfiles to it in one big folder such as 'tiger backup' then make sure you have all your apps backed up and docs, music, pics, movies etc... ESPECIALLY ITUNES PURCHASES im not too sure how to wipe your hd completly but i think you insert your operating disc 1 and hold down 'c' on startup. this will boot from the cd. you can then reinstall and i think wipe it all. anyone else know about the wiping and reinstall bit ? - cos im not too sure . hope this helps chris.
