I backed up the HDD before upgrading my MB with Time Machine to an external USB drive. Then upgrade the HDD and restore the Time Machine backup from the HDD - it's very easy to do. You don't have to reinstall software and such - the restore from a Time Machine backup is one of the installation options during the first five minutes of setting up the new HDD.
I tried this on my macbook pro that i just bought saturday, and when i install it, i get a question mark on a folder, so the computer does come on. Do you know whats wrong?
It has the 9400M which is a dedicated GPU. It doesn't come with two like the higher model has. That might have two fans but no one has verified that yet.
hi, will a macbook pro late 2009 take a hard drive thats 12.5 mm high ?

I think you only have one fan because your version of the macbook pro doesn't have a dedicated GPU.

Wow, that looks very simple. I believe this is the June 2009 release of the MBP?
