[QUOTE="Keats1, post: 1699126, member: 293492"] Nick, your right. I do have Lion not Mountain Lion. My bad... I just got this lap top about two weeks ago. I have not changed the O.S. and I know that it's the original O.S. that came with this machine back in Jan 12 when the original owner bought it new. Because it's never been updated to another O.S., I can't go to Apple and get a previous O.S. downloaded. Sure wish they had them available on a disk or a thumb drive. I suppose that E.C. will work O.K. but I'm just trying to cover my bases. So if I use one of these programs to make a clone of my current hard drive, how would I get it back on the machine again.? Would I have to wipe the H.D. clean like a "Format C" and then try to transfer the entire contents of the thumb drive back onto the H.D.? Would the Lion simply work again like it did before? I don't have a lot stored on this H.D. to date so there's not much to loose. I'll look up Carbon Copy and Super Duper and give one of them a try. Thanks again, Keats [/QUOTE]
