Upgrade HDD for my Macbook (early 2008)
Hi,
I would like to upgrade my HDD. Understand there are many post, sorry I'm not knowledgeable in Mac and do not know how to start doing it..
Would need advise on;-
a) Understand I need to backup all my data, beside that, do I need to do any backup of my OS or drivers prior to the swapping of HDD and restore to the new HDD?
b) Is there any hidden partition that contains "something like recovery or restore to factory default" kind of information? If yes, how to backup this?
c) Or, just simply change the HDD and use the supplied Mac OS DVD start to install?
d) Any best "dummy guides" that I can follow?
Appreciate any kind advise please.
