[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 694993, member: 56231"] When a mechanic reconditions a motor, he has to replace all the parts that were removed, but if you don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling all your software from your backup, then choose Archive & Install from your OS X installation. That will preserve the software on the hard disk while reinstalling the System. I agree with you about the "start fresh", so if it were me I'd choose Erase & Install. [/QUOTE]
