[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1516805, member: 110816"] Do the following 1) Power up Time Capsule (TC) 2) Connect Mac to TC with Ethernet cable 3) Start up Mac with the Snow Leopard disk inserted and hold down the C key 4) Once you've fully booted into the disk and are looking at the Mac desktop, go to Utilities->Restore System From Backup. 5) Assuming the TC was properly seen by the Mac, you should get a window saying Select Backup Source and the only option should be "some name" on "Time Capsule". 6) Choose the TC as the back up source and choose the latest backup made in the next window. 7) The destination should be "Macintosh HD" for Select Destination. Assuming all of this worked OK, you should now have the Restore button that you can hit and have it restore the information and see how it does. Once finished, remove the snow leopard disk and reboot the Mac and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
