[QUOTE="brianwmay, post: 842538, member: 51013"] Have you been to the Extreme Tech website and looked up the MBP HDD upgrade tutorial. I printed it out and had it in front of me when I upgraded my 200 for a 500 Gb hard drive. It was very easy provided you follow the guidance and have the right tools. I didn't have a spudge tool so used a thin cooking spatula made of plastic to separate the ribbon cable from the top of the HDD. Very gently slide the spatula under the cable and ease it up - it works great as you are 'moving' in the same direction as the cable. So, have a go and enjoy. I enjoyed it immensely - very satisfying. I wrote about it on my thread about 'difficulties' in upgrades. Whilst I appreciate you were sad about the lack of response, there is an immense amount of information on this site if you look and use the search feature - that's all I did and followed up other people's suggestions.
