Welcome to Apple Support Communities

How are you trying to restore files to your new MacBook Pro? If you are using FireWire, note that the old MacBook Pro must be in Target Disk mode (hold the T key while your Mac is starting up) in order to be detected by your new MacBook Pro.

Also, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html
