Soooooo is there a way to do a complete factory settings restore? I never set up Time Capsule.

I put a couple of things on here whenI used it at their house (mainly Diablo 3) but I've cleared all their files off and would rather start completely clean as "my computer."

Responses:

if they have the original OSX disk you can do a clean install that way -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 23, 16:56 4
- Unless they've updated to Lion/ML where it's just a download. - spamlet Dec 23, 17:30 2
  - if it's more than two years old, probably has Snow Leopard on the original system disk -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 23, 17:32 1
    - But this would avoid reupdating. - spamlet (iPhone) Dec 23, 17:52
- Yeah, they should have it somewhere. I'll check tomorrow. -- nm - Tim Dec 23, 16:57
