HELP!</p> <p> What do I have to do to get the new one to work?<br /> Do I Just put it in and install the disks that came with the lap top and its ready to go? </p> <p>(See if you can wrap your brain around this one) What if I put my new h.d. in the drive enclosure (aka flash drive), plugged it in -just as if it were any other flash drive- , drag everything onto it from my old hard drive, then just install the new H.D. into the macbook? Its probably not that easy though. </p> <p>Say I take out the old hard drive, then for whatever reason I need to put it back in- will it have to be re installed or anything? </p> <p>Any advice regarding this topic would be great</p> <p>Thanks a bunch </p>
