I currently have 2 250gb hard drives. One internal and one external. Also a 40gb WD internal. Basically I had a hard drive that failed on me and I backed up my files using windows basic backup program to my 250gb internal hard drive. My 40gb has windows installed on there temporarily, and I need to end up with my whole Windows files and everything including my backup files onto my 250gb internal. I am using a disk cloner to clone my 40gb to my 250gb external. Great, works fine, but I have a huge amount of unallocated space, so I can't copy my backup files onto it without having to format the drive losing the clone. So my questions are- does the backup file folder thing create a bootable disk when I restore the files? What's the easiest way to end up with the final product I need?
Does backing up files, and then restoring them create a bootable disk?

"Great, works fine, but I have a huge amount of unallocated space"
All you need to do is create a partition ( new simple volume) on that unallocated space, then format it.
You can do that in the Disk Management console:
Control Panel > Admin Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management
You will then be able to copy your files to that new partition.
