Thanks for the help Clay.
Let me re-phrase.
Ok I've searched all night for a solution to my problem, but nothing has come up. I just purchased my first (since about 1995) Macbook. Its a 13inch, black, 2.0ghz intel core duo, 80GB hard drive. Obviously 80GB is a joke so I ordered a 250GB 7200 RPM hard drive from Seagate. I just received it in the mail yesterday. I know how to install it (I am a noob at macs, but I know my way around computers), but I don't can't seem to get it working. I don't have an install disk for Leopard 10.5. I am trying to get a fresh install here. I already have Leopard 10.5 on my computer, and I went to the Apple store in Ann Arbor yesterday, they don't sell Leopard 10.5 anymore, and they wanted me to drop some Obama bailout coin ($169) to get the newest snow leopard box set) I read about cloning the hard drive, which would work, and I've downloaded carbon copy, but how do I get all the new info on my new hard drive? I've tried cloning to my iPod classic, which carbon copy informs me needs to be reformatted to HFS+ in disk utility. I open disk utility, try to partition my ipod, and I'm hit with disk utility internal error, disk utility has lost its connection with disk management tool and cannot continue. I quit and restart, same error everytime. I'm stuck, so if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or redirect me to a thread where this problem has been answered, that'd be great! -Rich
