  • This is a very bad video. 1st, you are covering the work with your hand. 2nd, you are inserting a drive without replacing the bracket/magnetic shield that came with the original drive. A really bad no no. People might think this is the way to install a drive, when it is not. There are plenty of video tutorials that properly show replacing the magnetic shield. PLEASE pull this video author of the video!!

  • I can get the hard drive out just fine without the sledge, and if you don't like the video rate it and be on your way :)

  • on disxk utility what did you erase and format it as?? mac os extended??

  • yeah

  • hey, when i out my new hard drive in the macbook and tried to install the OS that was on my old hard drive aswell, it said summin like "save OS 10.5.2 to which folder?" or summin like that but then i didnt give me any choises to choose from..? what do i do? thnks

  • make sure you do not choose archive and install in toe install options, i think that is what the problem was.

  • I format it as mac os extended right?

  • When you install the OS, how do you get the black screen with gray text en top left corner?? I can only see a folder with a flashing question mark.. :(

  • Well I liked your video, It helped me install a new hard drive in my wife's macbook. Somehow it didn't tear holes in the time space continuum. I think there may be some psychology behind ebernet's comment...

  • @ecuamario I just got a 250 gig seagate. Never had problems with them before, but first experience on a mac.

  • Hi, i just bought on mbp off of ebay and it came with a seagate 500gb hard drive, have u ever used seagate? are they realiable?

    thanks

  • @ronaldguinhawa yeah you could install a 500gb if you wanted to, just make sure its a SATA 2.5

  • to boot from the CD drive

  • why do you need to hold the c key

  • in a macbook 13.3 inch you can only put a 320 GB in i believe

  • hi nice video...can you put 500 gb internal hard drive?tanx
