Apparently AppleCare says I have an issue with "system file structure" and that's what's causing my blue screen of death and they want me to do an erase & install. I've got 21 days left of AppleCare so I want to get this going in case it ends up being a hard drive issue!

I have my iMac backed up with SuperDuper on an external hard drive, and I am able to boot from it and see that it has backed up properly albeit 21 days ago (kicking myself for that on).

I don't understand how I get that information back on the hard drive. I've looked through the SuperDuper PDF and I can't figure out what step to take first. I am a novice and really nervous about messing it up.

Do I need to do the erase & install first, THEN somehow bring the backed up system on to the the iMac?

It's an iMac Aluminum running Leopard (what ever the lasted update is).

Thank you for your help! Sandy
