I now have access to all 490 GB of a borked MBP, via booting off an 
external FW drive. I was thinking of copying- cloning is perhaps a 
better word, most of it to a 500 Gig HD, reformatting the broken 
computer, and then restoring it to the now hopefully nicely formatted 
and running MBP.

But what to use? Time Machine? SuperDuper? Straight copy, then install 
Yosemite Fresh? TM and then fresh install then Restore via TM?

In fact, does TM make a copy of all or most of the System files? In any 
event, I will be leaving out a hundred or more Gigs on the restore.
