[QUOTE="mtbinva, post: 1007422, member: 139884"] I would put the old hard drive beck in the MBP. Then take the new drive and put it or connect it in a way you can connect it ti your MBP via USB. Use a program like [URL="http://www.bombich.com/"]CarbonCopyCloner[/URL] and clone your old drive (the one you have reinstalled in your MBP). Once completed, do a restart of your system and hold the "Options" button down. This will allow you to boot to your new drive while still externally connected (the screen will show two drives, make sure you boot to your new drive recently cloned). Cruise around in it to make sure you programs launch, all your docs are there, etc... Once you have verified this, swap the drive and boot normally. This should do the trick [/QUOTE]
