can i restore my imac quad core system from a restore on a flash drive? and if not how do i go about getting another copy of the one for my imac?

Hello I am having a serious issue here and with my limited mac skills i feel like im in a bad spot of potentially loosing everything on my hard drive. i cant replace many of my photos of my daughter and i have videos i have saved from performances i have no way of getting them anywhere else.. help

i need to find a way to get my system up and running it keeps asking me for the OSX but says there is a problem with the install and wont go any further.

I maved earlier this year and as my apple care ran out so did the location of everything i tried to organize so well. my RESTORE disk IS LOST!!! Grrrrrr

Help what do I do? Someone out there in Mac Land please advise me of your supreme know how!

Thanks for your time and I can use all the help I can Get!
