[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 534379, member: 24098"] You should be able to find disassembly instructions on iFixIt.com. You didn't mention which model of Powerbook you have, otherwise I would have given you more specifics. As far as the enclosure goes, you'll just need to worry about whether it has a SATA hard drive or a PATA hard drive. You can tell by the connector on the drive. If it's wide with 44 little pins, then it's PATA. If it's just a tiny little connector, it's SATA. Again, what your machine has will vary depending on which model of PB you have. I have [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817106099"]this enclosure[/URL] for my MacBook Pro's old hard drive and it works quite well, but it's SATA only and not the most attractive.
