I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320hdd, 2.33 processor, 8 gigs of RAM and OS X 10.9.4 . My hdd crashed and I cannot access it so is it possible to install a 1 terabyte drive with the operating software already installed and also upgrade my RAM to 16 gigs?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
If I were you I'd install a small SSD as the boot drive from OWC:

Then put a second large conventional drive either in the optical bay (Data Doubler) or in an external.
You don't say which MBP you have: Size, CPU type.
Also when you upgrade you could see if you can salvage your data from your old HD. Can you hear it spin up? If so Data Rescue IV.
Thank you very much, here are the further details you asked about: 15" MBP, core i5 2.33ghz.
OK here are benchmarks for the 17' machine:

I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320 gig hdd and my drive is corrupted and I can't engage it. So I would like to switch to a 1 terabyte drive can this be done?
