I am going to change out the hard drive in my 13" macbook pro and Ihad a question. I am wanting to do a clean install, so I am wanting to put in the new hard drive, install snow leopard... Then take the old hard drive and put it in an external enclosure to retrieve all my itunes music, files, etc... I this the best way to do it?

Yes, that's the easiest and most secure way. Then erase the old one and use it for Time Machine

Awesome. I plan on doing the same thing after my classes are over today. It's almost too hard to go to my last class when I've been walking around with my new hdd in my backpack since this morning just waiting to install it! lol
