[QUOTE="jobborrow, post: 971316, member: 51642"] Well that couldn't have been any easier!!! I watched a youtube tutorial on installing a new HD in a 13" MBP (I'm a visual learner!). My Macbook booted perfected from the newly installed hard drive and all my stuff was just where I left it!! The only difference now is I'm sporting 320GB and not 160GB! Amazingly easy, I love Macs! Even the seemingly tricky jobs are straight forward. The ability to create a clone of your drive that easily is amazing. The only one thing that bothered me was the fact that my Mac HD was now called WD (as I had named it when I reformatted it) rather than Macintosh HD, so I did a Mac key I to get info and just typed the name in there that I thought it should be, Machintosh HD, then hit return and closed out, and there it was all renamed to look and behave just like the old drive, except much bigger!! Thanks to all of you here who posted with suggestions and advice, it really is helpful to know people have your back! I hope this little string of events comes in useful for someone else with similar questions. [/QUOTE]
