Restoring my backup disk to my new one?
Ok so I need help from any experts on here that can help me with my problem. So recently I bought a bigger hard drive for my Macbook Pro. I made a back up for my old hard drive on an external disk using Time Machine. After it was all backed up I put the new hard drive in and installed my old mac disk that came with my laptop and everything booted up fine. After figuring out how to restore my old hard drive onto my new one it said it put it into a file marked "volumes". Assuming that meant it was working, I waited until it backed it all up on my hard drive. When it did I saw no change to my computer and now I'm totally lost on how to fix it. None of my applications or anything else has changed and I really need help with this.
