My buddies' mom has a Macbook with 10.4 and she has jacked up the HDD really bad. I' going to put a fresh drive in and was wondering if I could do a fresh Lion install and then restore her personal files and settings from the 10.4 backups she's has on her Time Capsule.

The only time I have ever done a TC restore before was when it was a full replacement and not system files. Is this doable?
