[QUOTE="dogtide, post: 1021077, member: 136916"] hi, i need to reinstall OS X on my mac as unfortunately i lost everything on a botched windows installation. My original systems disks are far away in Australia but i can borrow some snow leopard disks from a friend. I had used time machine to back up my mac (although unfortunately the last time was 6 weeks ago). My questions are these... Is there any prob using someone elses systems disk ? Is there a prob installing Snow Leopard when I am not 100% that my back up is snow leopard. My comp is 7 months old and I had done regular updates but dont think it was SL. Should I first just fully install Snow Leopard and then try and do a restore from time machine ? I really don't wanna stuff this up and destroy my backup or comp. Thanx in advance for all your advice. [/QUOTE]
