Hi there

Tried to install Snow Leopard but got a error message indicating that the hard drive had been used for backup using Time Machine.

Rebooted the iMac and could only find the Time Machine application. Nothing else.

Can't remember if 'playing' with Time Machine preferences I inadvertently selected the hard drive as the back drive.

Don't know how to find hidden file to see if I did inadvertently select the hard drive.

I do not want to do not want to erase the hard drive, install Leopard and all the updates, install Snow Leopard, reinstall all the applications etc.

Where to now?

Are you saying that the only application in your Applications folder is Time Machine? I assume, for example, that you are sending this email from a different computer...
