[QUOTE="chscag, post: 690147, member: 46727"] Just make sure the replacement HDD is SATA and meets these specs: [url]http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/[/url] The best way, in my opinion, to upgrade and copy your system over to the new HDD is to use cloning software: SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are both excellent choices for doing the job. Do some reading on both applications at their respective web sites. You should not have to reinstall Leopard. And yes, you most certainly can use Time Machine although - again my personal opinion - it's not as easy as using the software I mentioned above. As for the "Geek Squad" thing, I certainly agree with you. Good luck on your upgrade and be careful installing that new HDD! Regards. [/QUOTE]
