possible to move HD from one mac to another?

[bm5]

doesn't seem like it will work, but figured I would ask. I have a new MBP (late 2008 model). It's great, but a bit big and heavy for travel. I'm thinking about getting the smaller macbook for travel. Would it be possible to pop the HD out of the MBP and put it into the MB? That way I could have access to the same apps & data.

Anyone know if this will work?

There's nothing stopping you from doing it but I'd wait for 10.5.6 first just to be sure.

Why would that make a difference?

yeah oi don't see hoe that 'd make a difference..if you just want to get to your stuff why don't you just get a cheap enclosure and when you get your MB take the HD out and clone the MBP HD on it....?

Yes, it'll work just fine.

thanks for the feedback, I'll give it a go. i don't want to just "clone" the drive because essentially I'll be switching back and forth between the MBP and the MB depending on circumstance. So if I can just move the drive back and forth I'll always have "my" environmnet (apps + data)
