I didn't worked here.... super duper says: failed to enable ownership on Macintosh HD

Well what does that mean??

Cann i just make a Timemachine backup and then put all the Data to the new HDD?? after the OS is installed?

I just got a Macintosh and now i do not use my Toshiba satellite... could i get this same kit..but instead of transferring data from an old hard drive in the computer to a new one...could i take my old hard drive out of the Toshiba...put it in the transfer thing and copy data from that to my new hard drive without having to take apart the MacBook Pro itself?...does the program that you were using do that too? Thanks!

Is there a limit capacity for upload a HD in Mac Book Pro 13' 250GB.

Can I put a 750GB or 1T hard Disk whitout any problem?

Or not? Just a 500GB is the maximum upgrade?

Thanks.
