Re: What if the harddrive crashes on new iMac?

It's never taken more than 15-20 minutes for me.

For the entire OS or just the recovery tools? It downloads and executes the recovery tools first, then if you want to do a full reinstall it downloads the OS or you can do the other stuff like restore from TM. I have a 50Mb connection and it didn't DL the recovery tools and the OS in 30 minutes. It took a long time.

I was referring to the OS download. I've done it 3 times now and it has never taken anywhere close to 2 hours.
