Restore desktop with back-up data
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to back-up my files from the 10.4.11 awhile before the HD crashed. I had it replaced & it should be a clean copy of the OS plus a few files they could save. What I want to do is just take everything I back-up & put it on the new HD so I have the same capabilities as before (for instance I can't run Skype right now but all the accounts should be in the back-up). Shouldn't I be able to simple connect the back-up and drag whatever I want to the desktop or is that not going to restore things? Appreciate anything for a better understanding. Thanks
