Well, I'd go head and hard format the disk. Do the reinstall. I like to do it that way cause you have a truly clean install. When the newly reinstalled OS comes up, it's just as if you brought it home from the store for the first time. There's the music and verble introduction thingie. Just follow the prompt to use Voice OVer. during the set up, you will be asked if you want to envoke settings from a time machine backup. That's the time you bring that in.
