im thinking about putting a Seagate Momentus 100GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache Notebook Hard Drive into my MacBook. Does anyone know if this HD is compatible with the Macbook? and how will i go about transfering all the info from one drive to the other? Will i have to install the seagate drive into an enclosure, then copy a ghost image of the macbook hd onto it then swap them out afterwards? is there another way of doing this? and is it hard to acess the hard drive on the macbook?
Got a tip for us?

As long as it's SATA not ATA (or Ultra-ATA) then it will work. Your description does not include the interface type so I can't say for sure it will work. An enclosure and SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner are probably the easiest way to get all your data from one drive to another.
You are in luck: the harddrive on a MacBook is as easy to access as the RAM, unlike on the MacBook Pro.
