[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 697051, member: 9385"] Not on a Macbook. A Macbook Pro is kind of a different story, but my understanding is that on a Macbook the HD is a user replaceable part. Remove battery, remove three (very small) phillips screws, slide out old drive, and slide in new drive. Always nice to have a spare drive. Reverse procedure to install old drive if there is some Apple Care issue you need to take it in for not related to the HDD. Oh, the RAM is pretty much in the same place. All it involves is removing the battery. Other Macs you have to disassemble the chassis, which is a bit warrantee voiding, but with a Macbook it's easy and isn't. [/QUOTE]
