If you have the Snow Leopard disk, do a backup,  preferably 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot off the DVD and run Disk Utility Verify/Repair Disk and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Quit Disk Utility, then re-install the OS.


 When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.


Use the combo update to save time in Software Update.
