[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1527747, member: 46727"] If you're referring to reinstalling Mountain Lion, you shouldn't lose any data as only the system files and kexts are overwritten. This assumes of course that you don't erase the drive or format it first! Remember, however, since "Murphy" is always lurking about, make a backup first. ;) [/QUOTE]
