Excellent! Easy as pie. I’m now sprinting with 500G 7200RPM. But – beware: I found out that the Leopard OS disk that came with my machine rejects the new disk (“Cannot install OS X to this machine”). The good news: You don’t need to reinstall the OS. Simply use the disk utility to restore the disk image from your old hard drive (tethered by USB cable). It took 4 hours to restore 170G. But, when I rebooted, my entire computer was exactly, precisely as before. Just much fatter!
Recently upgraded a 2007 17″ macbook pro from Hitachi 160GB 5400RPM to Hitachi 500GB 5400RPM. Presently the hard drive has a low constant clicking sound and the left fan runs constant at low rpm. I was extremely cautious when installing. Any one experience something similar?
Fantastic! I have to replace my hard drive once the new one arrives this week. You just took all the guess work out of the job. Thank you very much.
Terrific video! Very clear and well done.
