Thanks Roger

That makes sense to me now
I knew you need to get out of the OSx you want to replace
but wasn't what was the best way to do it

You make an image of your drive the way it is right now.  When or if
you have to do a restore boot from your external drive that has the
image on it, use disktools to erase the internal drive and then do a
restore to that drive.  The time it takes to restore depends on how
big the image is.  For instance tonight I have just done 7 restores
of an image that is just under 9gb and these took about 15mins each
and these were from slow 4200 external firewire drives.

Hope that helps.
