Just boot from the CD and double-click on the Autopsy icon; much simpler than what I described earlier.

I found that I ran into problems unless I *first* mounted the target disk write-capable, then loaded the data from the source disk.

There's a small HD icon near the bottom center of the screen. Right-click and select WRITE-CAPABLE, then double-click to add the target disk. Right-click again to mount discs READ-ONLY. From the Autopsy interface, you can load as many partitions as you want to retrieve files from -- no need to mount them with the OS's file manager, that's done within Autopsy, read-only by default.

I didn't try restoring the files directly to the source disk, but apparently that capability is there too.
