I did try to do this yesterday, but it wouldn't let me select the internal hard drive, it was grey'd out. My only choices were the different partitions I have on my external.

I think the hard drive is dead, AppleCare pretty much confirmed it today, so I'm taking it in tomorrow to have it checked out. It's now turned into a grey screen with a flashing folder/question mark icon.

I'll be figuring out the restore process after that.

Thanks again for you help. Sandy
