[QUOTE="chscag, post: 920678, member: 46727"] A direct swap won't work. You'll need to backup whatever data from the 320 GB you need and save it to another drive. Use Disk Utility to erase the 320 GB drive and reformat it as HFS+. Then you can use cloning software (SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner) to clone the contents of the 120 GB drive to the 320 GB. Now you can swap the drives and restore your data to the 320 GB drive. Applications will have to be re-installed in order to work properly. Regards. [/QUOTE]
