Nice demo... lose the irritating sound track in the background... un-necessary and repetitive to the point of becoming very distracting. And STRESSFUL!!!!!

Sorry I could not continue listening to the Chinese Water Torture Repetitive Loop which destroyed your very nice demo.

Thank you so much for posting this video. Between swapping the fans, transferring the HDs, and installing the new HD, your crew's DIY tutorials have saved me a lot of money.

Genius Bar can stick that $100/HR labor up their collective asses

Forget the naysayers - Five Stars all she way - your voice is like Rick Steve's travel TV shows - I was able to do this (after getting the INVALUABLE toolkit) without difficulty. Now do one to talk us down when flying a 747 - we'll have no problem

will a old macbook harddrive (like this one) fit into a newer macbook (2008 unibody)?

Hi if anybody can help me I am also wanting to do this operation to my MacBook pro from late 07. My hd is currently a 120gb and I wish to upgrade it to a 1tb if anyone could give me the right one to get and if how I could save my data before hand and also I am currently running osx lion. Thanks!

this video/tutorial is wonderful. for the price of having a pro just open up the mac and tell me i needed a new hard drive, i was able to purchase a 1T and install it myself. it's not for the feint of heart, nor for thick-fingered bumblers, but it is DOABLE. i followed the instructions exactly and, after 40 minutes, i'm watching it install osx. it was stressful and i'd suggest not having someone looking over your shoulder. take your time!! thank you so much for the help!!
