[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1512036, member: 38864"] You didn't say which MacBook you are pulling that SSD from, or which OS version it has. Your "new" MacBook can't run Mountain Lion, so firstly be aware that you will have to reformat the SSD and reinstall the OS (10.7.x Lion at best) if it has ML. As for actually swapping the drive, here's a guide from iFixIt: [url=http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+17-Inch+Models+A1151+A1212+A1229+and+A1261+Hard+Drive+Replacement/319/1]MacBook Pro 17" Models A1151 A1212 A1229 and A1261 Hard Drive Replacement - iFixit[/url] [/QUOTE]
