I am looking to do something similar but the new drive is an used one from my GF's damaged unibody. It is a 2.5 SATA so I believe it is compatible but is there something I need to do in order to wipe it clean before I install it in my Macbook? It is currently used as an external so I have access to it but if I can just install and boot from disk and re-install "over" what is currently on it I will do that too.
Thanks!
hmm i see, well everything went smooth and now i have 280GB of free space. Thanks everyone for the help...
