Hey guys..posting this on behalf of my fren...he is toying with the idea of swapping out his Fuji 120GB 5400rpm HDD to a 320GB 7200rpm one...want to refresh his mbp a little...
I'll be doing the job for him but i've got some questions I'd like to ask as he entrust his mbp to me...the hardware part i'm pretty ok as there are some really good and complete guide on how to do it...my question is..since he wants a fresh copy of OS installed in it and not a backup of what is already in the present HDD..how do i prep the new HDD for install?how do I install the new OS after putting the new HDD in the mbp? This is the part that I'm unsure about and the guides that I looked didn't advise on this..any help will be very much appreciated guys!
