[QUOTE="Noels, post: 703038, member: 49942"] Don't blame you, that's just what it would do... I thought you wanted to re-install the OS, that's like a clean install on Windows, not a repair. You can backup all your stuff on an external hard drive and then do the erase, re-install the OS and then restore your apps and data from the external. You'll need an external for safety anyhow, so if you don't have one, now's the time to get it... Noel [/QUOTE]
