Note I don't have Lion purchased on the App Store, (which, I don't mind buying it, Mac OS discs are SO much cheaper than Windows OS discs) will the format/restore wipe out the pre-loaded OS too, or will it just erase all my personal data and bring me to the welcome/set-up screen?Įdit: I just opened SuperDuper. I do play musical instruments, so I like having Reason and Live, but I never really use them (I haven't even gotten around to learning GarageBand yet ) I have music editing programs like Reason, Soundtrack Pro, MainStage, Logic Pro, and Live, and I also have some movie/photo editing software. The only thing I really use often is Photoshop. (Another story for my previous Windows use) Since switching to Mac, I myself have never pirated anything.

txt file with a list of serial numbers in it, (which, I know pirated torrents come in files like that with a list of serial numbers.) another thing I found shady is some of my 'paid' programs are in folders that have a. HD, giving my Mac plenty of space) I do have SuperDuper downloaded, and after reading your post, I think it'll be wise to do a back-up with S.D. (I usually just keep the necessities on my Mac and keep the rest on my Ex. I actually just used Time Machine today before running Maintenance, so the (very little) data I had on my Mac is backed-up to my Western Digital external HD.
