[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 1019730, member: 50033"] Insert the OS X installation disk. Hold down the 'C' key while the machine boots up to boot from the CD. There will be an option to restore from Time Machine backup. In the event that you physically replace the HD, you'll need to format the new HD prior to the Time Machine restore. (OS X doesn't tell you that). Run Disk Utility from the CD to format, then select the Time Machine restore. The options that allow you to complete the restore will then (and only then) appear.
