Or, if you ARE going to do a fresh new install, avoid all the hassle. 
Use CarbonCopyCloner to backup to your Titanium. Reformat and reinstall 
from the CD's. CCC back to the iMac from the Titanium. You'll have a 
fresh new system without any bugs/bad prefs etc. I have used CCC this 
way and seemingly it won't copy back anything 'bad' as in each instance 
the OS was 100% even after CCC'ing back from the one that was 
misbehaving.
Taking this route saves a bunch of time using Disk Utility, DW etc etc.
