[QUOTE="immdb, post: 60692, member: 1238"] From Apple Help: Reinstalling Mac OS X Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact. 1. Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 CD and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon. 2. Follow the onscreen instructions. In the panel where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available). 3. Click Options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select "Archive and Install," then select Preserve Users and Network Settings. If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select "Erase and Install." You can't recover erased data. 4. Click Continue. 5. Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you'd like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended). If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a booklet included with Mac OS X. If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer, including Apple and third-party applications, instructions are in the manual that came with your computer.
