Hello all - first time poster here, trying to get some much needed help.
I recently bought a new hard drive, and wanted to restore to this new drive from my snow leopard time machine backup...but it turns out I couldn't locate my snow leopard disc.
In any event, I tried booting off my regular leopard disc and performed the restore. Left the process over night, and woke to see the "power down and restart your system" message on the screen. When restarting I continue to get this message which I believe has to do with the computer not finding a bootable disk. Using the 'startup' utility on the leopard disc, I pointed it to my new hard drive (which I just restored the data to), and I still get the same message.
Is there an issue using this non-snow-leopard disc to do the restore of a snow-leopard backup? Am I missing something else?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
