A question for the experts.

My new macbook keeps turning off when low on power, not standby. Aple have agreed o exchange it for a new machine. The question I have is I have put my new 320GB HDD into teh machine and restored all my data.

Can I simply when I get my new machine, swap the drives and it will work. I know I tried this a few years ago on a windows laptop and it crashed.

Thanks for any help.

It should be fine. You could always make a full Time machine backup before you do it.

If they are the same type, there should be no issues (I did it with a 100GB drive between a TiBook 500 and a TiBook 667). There would only be an issue if going between chipsets or processor types (G4->G5->Core->Core2).

Apple are swapping the black book for another black book which is getting sent out to me next week. Thanks for the help. Both SR 2.2 standard spec.

it will work, and if it doesnt there will be a way to make it work.
