Did an archive and install (retaining my existing user account), only to discover it was unnecessary. (Turns out the problem was hardware-related.)

Huh. Hardly seems to be worth "archiving" if you can't go back to the archive.

Hi, I had exactly the same problem.
The hardware problem happened co-incidentally at the same time I installed the latest OSX10.4 update. After weeks of trying to figure out how create a clone onto a firewire drive (which is not seen by the computer when booting up) and to roll back to the previous version I eventually did an archive install from the system DVD - unfortunately several of my most important applications - notably Logic Studio - won't run anymore.
I've been trying to find the missing files in the Previous Systems folder, but no success yet.
I'm now trying to use the Migration assistant to get the previous system back off my firewire drive.
