[QUOTE="Noels, post: 679622, member: 49942"] mcjacksonnelson, I backed up my Macbook hard drive using SuperDuper (free version makes a bootable copy) then removed the original hard drive from the Macbook, replaced it with a new Western Digital Scorpion 320GB 5400RPM hard drive. Then I used SuperDuper to put my OS and all the data back on the new internal drive. I'm now using the original Macbook hard drive as an external for backups... I just bought a Bytecc USB enclosure for the drive (about $20) and Voila! I'm back in business with a new external and a larger internal drive. I use this external for Time Machine. I also bought a 160GB Western Digital Passport for a second external drive and I use that with SuperDuper for a second backup, just in case :) BTW, I love the Passport - small, quiet and runs off the USB cable that came with it. The Bytecc enclosure also runs off the USB cable - no external power required... Noel [/QUOTE]
