Alright so I just bought a brand new MBP santa rosa 15" from the apple.com clearance...it should be here by monday... and at the same time i ordered a samsung 320 HD and 4gb ram kit from Other World Computing because 120gb isnt enough for all my music cause im a DJ..
well anyways, I already checked out the ifixit guide to installing everything and i have all the essential tools... but my thing is that all the forums and blogs i searched stated that in order to start the MBP its necessary to have the old drive as an external? im lost on that part... because what i was thinking is that since im starting off fresh i can just install all the hardware and just pop in the boot cd... or does the stock HD have boot utilities?
btw this is my first mac... someone help?
