[QUOTE="tnawalkowski, post: 1445764, member: 272003"] Hi there, Situation - I have two MacBook Pros, 1.83GHZ models. One with a 750GB upgraded HD that we use for our "main" computer. The other "secondary" computer is still stock with an 80GB HD. I'm beginning to have various problems with the "main computer". I want to swap the hard drives and make the "secondary", none problematic computer, the main one. Both computers are backed up to a 2TB Time Capsule. My Question - should I just swap the two hard drives? Or should I re-format both computers first, erase all of the data etc, to "like new", then swap the drives and perform a restore? Which is the best option? Or is there another way? Thanks, Trevor [/QUOTE]
