[QUOTE="ann475, post: 1186217, member: 192371"] Have macbook 1.1 with 1gb memory and 80gb hd and running Tiger. Want to upgrade to 2gb memory, larger hd (500gb) and snow leopard. Was going to get the new hd in a "upgrade kit" that includes an "enclosure" as that seems to make transfer of data from old hd easier. Am getting a bit lost reading articles and posts scattered on the internet that each involve different parts of the above desribed overall upgrade. Would very much appreciate help with process or links to most useful instructions. What would be the best order of doing the upgrade (ie. hardware and software) and how do I migrate everything from my old hd to new hd? It looks like the memory upgrade is fairly easy. Probably do that first. After that it seems complicated on how best and in what order to install snow leopard (apparently a "clean" install is best) and finally end up with snow leopard and all my old data and programs from my old hd onto my new hd. Any help would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
