include Applications in Time Machine from now on. big mistake - i could have been finished already, but now i will have several hours figuring out what still needs to be installed. One mistake i made originally setting up my Time Machine, i excluded all applications, thinking that i could just install from original discs. I downloaded and ran the Hard Drive tester as you suggested, So i could use the migration assistant to import my real identity. I continued with the OS setup then used Migration Assistant to gather the data.įor some reason, i had to create a bogus identity (administrator) I had to escape from the import, and set up my identity manually Mac did not boot - got as far as the Grey screen with Apple Logo, and the circling 'clock' - inserted the Leopard DVD to run Disc Utilities - Permission Repair failed immediately.
