Swapping Al Macbook hard drive

[wellsws]

The hard drive in the new macbook is extremely easy to access. I was wondering if it's possible to swap out the hard drive with one of a PC laptop? Would it boot up? It'd be great to have a hard drive with only PC for when I need it.

If the pc notebook drive meets the requirements for your MacBook , then it will work. (i.e. 2.5" SATA, 9.5MM, etc...) -GDF

If it is 2.5" SATA, It will work, but will not boot to windows.

You can install windows on it using bootcamp, and just set that as your default startup. So when you swap drives, it should boot into the windows boot camp partition, although I've never tried that.

I meant it won't work immediately. You have to format it, install leopard, and then install bootcamp...
