[QUOTE="IndyBob, post: 1369029, member: 217474"] I want to do a new install of the OS on my iMac. It came new with Lion and there are a few things (problems) going on and I would like to get it back to “factory” state so I can start over again. I did the CMD-R at startup and picked the Reinstall Lion. When it was done a few hours later I was pretty much right back where I was before the re-install. My Desktop, Icons and all my files were still there. I was expecting to see the iMac, as it was when I received it new. I am thinking I must have missed a step somewhere. What procedure should I use to get the Mac back to a factor or out of the box state? Thanks [/QUOTE]
