How hard is it to put a Larger HD in this MacBook?

BEFORE YOU DO _ANYTHING_, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP COPY!!!!

1. Remove battery.

2. Remove L shaped bracket that covers RAM slots

3. Pull tab on the left, which slides the HD out.

4. Remove little mounting screws from HD

5. Put little mounting screws on new HD.

6. Carefully slide new HD into MB, making sure tab is accessible

7. Put bracket back on

8. Put battery back in

9. Boot

Some folks like to copy the old HD to the new one before they install, which is probably a bit safer than the other way around. Obviously, you need some gear to be able to do that (2.5" HD case or equivalent)

If you can install RAM, you can do this.
