Restore entire TIB to Disk - Drag-Drop Prohibited

I have a TIB file of a disk. I want to restore a large folder with many files band subfolders. Dragging is prohibited. So now I want to restore the whole TIB to a spare portable USB drive. This should be simple, but I cannot figure out how to do this!! I see zillions of posts on how to open the TIB and navigate to a file then drag and drop. I have many thousands of files and folder within the one I want to restore. So, yeah, how do just restore the TIB in its entirety. I did not create the TIB on this machine so it'snot in my backups list. How to I open/select a TIB and say "restore to drive x"? I know it will overwrite the x drive!

Have you tried copy and paste rather than draging. Select the directory you want to copy, then right click and select copy. (shortcut Ctrl+C) Go to the location where you want to copy the directory to, and select past (short cut Crtl+V).

I did, if you read my post I mentioned that. The folder had over 200,000 files in nested folders. Too much for the drag and drop access!! I eventually copied the TIB file to a portable USB disk, then TrueImage detected it and added it to its backups list. I was then able to restore to another portable USB, from which I was able to get the folder. Ugly but it worked.
