Well, my iMac (2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 3Gb ram, 10.6) crashed last night,
and when I went to boot it this morning, it starts to boot, gets to
the grey Apple, then displays the NOT sign. I know this is a system
problem, but nothing I've done has helped. Disk utility (Repair
permissions, repair disk) and DiskWarrior made no difference.
So my question now is, what will the Snow Leopard installer do?? If I
was running 10.4 or 10.5, I'd just do an archive and install, with
preserve user settings. But the 10.6 installer doesn't have those
options... I really don't want to wipe all my info, is there some way
to know what kind of install it's going to perform? It sure looks like
it's going to install the system fresh... (I do have a Time capsule
backup drive, so my info is safe... I hope...)
Thanks everyone.
