Hi,

I have a late 2009 iMac and I had the HD replaced (it was included in the recent HD recall).

Before I had it replaced, I made a backup using my time capsule and it was on the latest version of Mountain Lion.

My question is, since I have to install the OS using the original install discs which was Snow Leopard, if I use the restore from Time Machine using Mac OSX Utilities, will my Mac restore my Mountain Lion backup (and have everything like it used to before I had the HD replaced)? Or do I have to reinstall Lion then Mountain Lion then restore from there?

It would be a pain to re download everything.

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance
