[QUOTE="Rusyn, post: 18261"] Hello All, So I was reading the post about reinstalling OS X on a laptop and I have some questions: If you use the Disk Utility to make a partition, stick all your data on it, and then do a clean install of OS X on the C-drive (?), will everything be okay? The reason I ask this is because the partition-making utility in XP is not that reliable, and you cannot truly have a clean install with an XP-partition. You should use a utility such as Partition Magic or something to make a logical partition that will protect your data. Can I do it with the Disk Util? Or should I use some third-party app? And is there an app anyone would recommend? Cheers, Rusyn [/QUOTE]
