So, tried to use BC to install vista the other day, got the error repair drive etc...did a million times and nothing. So, read around and found out I need to reinstall. Is there a way to reinstall leopard, then have time machine copy back over all my files, and be able to install vista then? Or will I have to re-install all the programs after my re-install and then drag the files back from time machine?

I guess the better question is, whats the bets way to do this and fastest lol...

Thanks in advance!

If you boot from the installer disc, you will see a 'restore from Time Machine backup' option if you go through the menus in the menubar. Oh wait, here we go:
