[QUOTE="chat19, post: 690109, member: 35960"] So I called apple and asked them if upgrading my HDD would void the Apple Care, and the lady said no as long as someone certified did it (like Best Buy). The obvious thing is that the new HDD would not be covered under Apple Care. Will any 2.5" HDD fit? So when I do this, what do I need to do to install Leopard? Do I simply put in the Leopard DVD? Does it matter that mine is a "Mac OS X Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD?" Is that just an upgrade copy or what? And finally, can I just use a Time Machine backup to handle it? THANKS! ps- I will not pay Geek Squad $150 to do it for me [/QUOTE]
