hi guys, it's my first post here and I'd like to share with you about my experience...

I have a white macbook with a 60 GB hd which is manufacturer standard (I'm talking abt 2 yrs ago)...

and today i was searching about HD upgrading because I'm sick of this low capacity....

I bought the portable WD passport essential HD 250GB and I swapped it with the original one..

and it worked really good, i had no problems after it ....

the process...

I've downloaded a software called SuperDuper! 2.5 and it's leopard compatible.. it's for HDs cloning and backing up..

I cloned the WD passport with a USB...

removed the original HD for the macbook and replaced it with the WD passport...

and here's the link about how too and the WD passport...

instructions in video ----> YouTube - Macbook Hard Disk Clone & Upgrade

The WD passport HD ---> My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Hard Drives ( WDME5000 )

I don't give you a guaranty about what r u about to do... but it worked fine with me....

:)

and I'm sorry if this thread is repeated
