[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 895425, member: 56379"] This sounds like a very straight forward, fast, and easy way to transfer your MacBook "stuff" to your "Unibody. Access to the hard drive on both computers is very easy...so as long as your comfortable doing the work yourself, and there are no warranty voiding issues...then I would say go for it...and in less than 30 minutes your hard drive swap should be complete. The only possible issue I could foresee is...if the OS on the older MacBook is an older version of what I'm assuming is 10.5. The "Unibody" MacBooks shipped with OS 10.5.5...so if the OS on your older MacBook is less than 10.5.5...then there could be some glitches. Otherwise if both laptops are running the latest OS version (something like 10.5.7 or 10.5.8)...then the swap should go fine. Good luck...let us know how it went! - Nick [/QUOTE]
