restoring from a time machine backup to new hard drive

I am trying to restore A single file from time machine to a new drive, I know how to restore the file so it gose to my mac but I can't make it restore to my new hard disk " Why would you need to do that I hear you Ask "GOOD QUESTION" well it would take about 7 hour to copy the file to my mac and the another 7 hour to copy the file to the hard drive (which is where I need it to be).

what I want to do is save 7 of the 14 Hours it will take by directly restoring the files (of which I have a few) to the new hard drive

I am working with OSX10.5.8

Hope you guys can help
