[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1093317, member: 24098"] I would suggest purchasing (if you don't already have one) a USB to SATA adapter. This is a handy tool for anyone who works on PCs in general, since it allows you to quickly hook up an internal hard drive externally. An example is here, but any good computer store should carry them: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002&cm_re=vantec_usb_to_SATA-_-12-232-002-_-Product]Newegg.com - VANTEC CB-ISATAU2 SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter[/url] Hook up the new drive to the adapter and then boot up with Mac. Use SuperDuper or CCC to "backup" the internal drive to the external -- make sure you use the "make bootable" option. Once this is finished, it's just a matter of shutting the machine down and then installing the new drive in place of the old one. [/QUOTE]
