My Macbook went nuts...flashing apple & '?'.
I inserted the INSTALL DISC and did an ARCHIVE & INSTALL.
Whatever happened to the MB before the crash, the major portion of files was gone.
The new install is good and I have a MB that is back to Square 1.

Fortunately, I had a mirror image back-up of all the really important stuff.
No 'USER' files, but my entire User Folder...pictures, library, etc. as well as ALL of my Ipod music.

Problem is, I cannot figure out how to replace my current USER FOLDER with the older USER FOLDER of the same name sitting safely on my back-up drive.

My back-up was made with Silver Streak.

Any help is appreciated.
