replacing new drive with cloned drive help asap!

[wreckthisplace]

hey

i've run into a problem i need help with asap if thats possible.
i made a copy of my drive with carbon copy cloner and was planning on formatting my drive, partitioning it and then replacing my newer drive with my cloned one. i made sure the partition would have enough room for the older drive.

i'm not sure how to go about this so i tried replacing the app, library, system and users folder with the ones on my cloned drive but it says i don't have priveledges even know i have it set to read and write.

can someone please let me know how i can make my cloned drive my new one for now on?

the cloned drive was put onto my external firewire as app, library, system and users folders.

thanks

So all you copied were the Applications, Library, and System folders? You need to do a complete drive backup that includes the invisible files as well. I use SuperDuper! and I can choose to copy one hard drive to another (complete backup), and then I just change the settings in the popup menu to copy to a new drive. CCC should have the same option, but I've never used it before.
