[QUOTE="TreyPeezyDotCom, post: 860415, member: 53768"] Ok here is my problem. I just bought the cheapest macbook pro (MA600LL/A) off of this site called gainsaver 2 weeks ago. I had no problems with it. But I wanted to up the hard drive from 80gb to 320gb (WD Passport). I installed the drive. I then bought the reinstall disks from Apple (2 dvds). I just reinstalled the computer. >Now all of a sudden takes forever to load (Grey apple, and the round and round thing under it). >Or it will load and then freeze and non of the apps will open I have to manually shut it down. >Or it will show the DARK GREY Folder as if the HD is gone. Please help...I am debating on putting the small 80GB drive back in it (hopefully I wont have the problems if I have to revert back to that.) Also, Apple is supposed to send me the LEOPARD disk (because they messed up my tiger order twice). The guy said just put the Leopard disk and install it. Can anyone give me any pointers. [/QUOTE]
