I wanted to check it was the disk and not the fan making he noise. I called Apple to see if they would ship me a new disk and they refused and just said I'd have to go to an Apple store to get it changed, and by the way you've voided the warranty but 'I won't record it'. I said, why do you have instructions for users to change the disk and memory and he said, that's for after the warranty runs out!
I'm disappointed they won't mail me another drive - as a business customer who recently bought two Macbook Pros and a Mac Mini, and other stuff over the years I can't afford the time to visit the store twice in a day as you have to leave it with them. It took me 10 mins to change it myself.
WARNING: Apple recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician install replacement drives and memory. Consult the service and support information that came with your computer for information about how to contact Apple for service. If you attempt to install a replacement drive or memory *and damage your equipment*, such damage is not covered by the limited warranty on your computer.
