While attempting to restore Time Machine from an external drive to my new MacBook Pro, the hard drive doesn't appear in the graphic. A second external drive I have does appear, but not the Macintosh HD. Suggestions?
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Howdy dlayne40,
If your hard drive is not showing in Time Machine, check it with Disk Utility.
OS X: If you can't back up or restore with Time Machine - Apple Support
Check your Drives
Use Disk Utility to check your startup disk and any external drives you are using for backup.
Repair any issues and try again.
Best,
Nubz

Thanks, ended up calling into support for their help. We went thru the procedure you mentioned, but the drive failed to respond. External drives worked perfectly, but the HD wasn't.
Now have an appointment to take it back into the store for further diagnosis.
