[QUOTE="Kash, post: 370777, member: 23444"] It's actually quite simple. What you can do is stick the 160GB hard drive in your Macbook and use your installation discs to get a fresh install of OS X. You can use Disk Utility during the setup process to format the 160GB drive. Then when you have OS X up and running, just pop the 60GB drive into the enclosure and connect it to the Macbook. You should be able to just drag stuff onto your new drive. [/QUOTE]
