MACBOOK Rebuild

I am going to go through the phases of rebuilding my old Macbook Pro 17", I had so many good Security and Hacking tools (from LINK) running that it is going to run much better, but also it will take me many hours to get it back the way I want it.

So far I have been able to find the OS CD's and boot it up to the CD by pressing C, I will try Disk Util to see if anything is salvageable. Luckily we were testing some full disk encryption software on this machine a few weeks back and I dumped all the files I needed.

    Success - The Hard Drive was not dead only the file system was completely fubar. anyway the reinstall worked and I am now on a clean system trying to get all the updates working.
    The process is easy as long as you have your install disks handy.
