System restore from Time Machine, BUT...

Asked by cschack (227points) July 22nd, 2008

OK, my Macbook died on me and I just got it back. Now, I want to restore the system via Time Machine, BUT…all I can find are instructions on how to do it via the Install DVD. Problem is, when I bought my Macbook, I got Leopard on an update DVD (it only came with Tiger preinstalled), so it’s not an Install DVD per se. The Tiger Install doesn’t help either.

I see there’s an option to get the account from the migration tools in the Utilities folder, but that only seems to create a copy account. I would prefer to just restore the whole thing, though. Any ideas? Thanks!
