[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1615771"] sammsousa, if you can get a big, empty hd to use tomorrow, that would be fantastic. Given that you have a full 1TB drive, you'll probably need a 1TB or bigger drive for this to work well. It's going to be slow if you have to use USB2, so Firewire would be better, or if your Mac has it, USB3. Format of the drive doesn't matter, as long as you are allowed to erase it completely. What cradom is going to work you through is moving your files to that external drive through terminal commands, then you can reinstall on the internal drive and copy back from that external the files you really need and maybe move the files you don't to that external drive of yours, although it doesn't have that much room left.
