Hi,
I just bought a 500 gb WD hard drive to stick in my late 2008 MBP. Here's what I did:

Installed new HD into my brother's mid 2009 13" MBP (latest revision).
Booted brother's MBP into target disk mode
Used Carbon Copy Cloner on my computer to clone my current HD onto my new HD in my brother's computer
Booted off my newly cloned HD in my brother's computer over FW.

Now, everything boots up fine. For some reason though, only PPC apps and apps I make open in Rosetta work, with few exceptions. So, my old PPC MS Office works. iTunes for some reason inexplicably works when other Intel / Universal apps don't. I got Firefox and Safari to work after forcing them to run with Rosetta. Most apps though just crash with an unexpected quit message.

What could be up here!? Totally don't get it.

Thanks!
