Performing a Clean Installation
This section provides instructions for what is commonly called a clean installation of system
software. A normal system software installation replaces changed system files and adds new
ones, but leaves other files alone. When you install system software using a clean installation,
the Installer creates a new System Folder on your hard disk. The old System Folder is
renamed Previous System Folder.
Note: Performing a clean installation does not erase the contents of your hard disk.
Performing a clean installation can be a complicated and lengthy procedure, but if you are
experiencing problems or your computer seems slow, it may help.
