I have an apple white macbook core duo (but i know the installation process is the same as the core 2 duo) and it came with a 60 gb hard drive. The hard drive is really only about 40 gbs so its way too little space for what i do. I have a 500 gb external hard drive but its mostly for back ups and i just feel more comfortable with a larger internal hard drive. I want to upgrade but i dont want to lose my info, including leopard. does anyone know how to “copy” or “clone” my small internal hard drive. I don’t care how, even if its through apple (and most likely expensive) any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
oh and my external drive is usb lacie porsche btw
its not the physical upgrading..thats easy and all over the web its the “cloning”

Thank you very much for that excellent article
Upgrading a laptop is very hard to do. Everything is inclosed and hidden by other parts like the keyboard ect. Plus its a Mac, finding parts for macs is hard to do. I dont suggest trying to upgrade it yourself, take it to a computer repair shop and see if they can help you.
If you want to get your MacBook HD upgraded, take to an Apple authorised tech. Laptops are VERY difficult to upgrade, especially Macs.

Get a HDD that is compatible with your Mac, I think 250 GB is the max you can use IN the MB. If the drive you get can install in the Lacie all the better, otherwise get an external drive you can use with it. Download and install cloning software like CCC or SuperDuper! Use it to clone the internal drive to the new HDD that you will install in your MB. BTW before you start cloning, format the new HDD as HFS+ or the cloning won’t work.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
i didnt know that, is there another article like that? because i really wanna know more about it
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
