I read most of the posts and still have some questions about my backup.
I have a macbook originally with Tiger on it. My boss bought a copy of Snow leapord and I have since upgraded. I purchased a 500GB HDD to replace my 120GB HDD.
I performed a time machine backup to a Iomega 320 GB external HDD and all was well. I put the 500 GB HDD in and installed tiger on it because I figured I would have to get it back to an operating system to boot my time machine backup from. Well Tiger does not have Time Machine so I cannot go and reboot all my old setup with Snow Leapard.
I went back and did a Carbon Copy Cloner but I guess I did not do a Bootable backup so I still have no idea how to get my settings back to normal.
If I could get some help on this subject, it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT::: Second option, if possible could I install snow Leopard back onto my computer and just use time machine to boot back up from a previous time?
