Our G4 iMac HD crashed but not before I backed it up to external HD
using carbon copy cloner.
If CCC does what it sounds like it should do then you ought to be
able to use the cloned drive as a startup
Now the iMac is returned with a new HD and a fresh copy of OS X
10.2.8 installed.
Connect the drive and go to system prefs startup disc, see if you
can startup from the clone.
The apple genius tried to restore stuff from the original HD and
made a folder that contains about 30% of what was there. (Didn't,
for instance, capture Quickbooks or some other important apps)
What? did he mount your disc and choose restore?
However, the backup on external HD seems complete.
If it seems complete can you not copy the items you require to the
new HD?
Good Luck
John
