[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1672181"] No pictures, no emails, no documents, no anything that you might want to save? Then a format will wipe it sterile and you can reinstall from the disc as pm-r suggested, using a one-pass to check the drive. And when it boots, it will be like a brand new machine, with NOTHING on it. It'll be like it came from the store. But get a backup drive anyway, they are cheap these days and it's simply insane to go without one at all. [/QUOTE]
