I have a 100g macbook right now, how much would it cost to get a 160 or 200g? and will i lose all my data on mine right now?
candykane
What you do is get a external 2,5 drive off 160 or 200 GB
open it remove the drive
put your own mac book drive in there
place the new drive in your mac book
huckup the external drive to your mac book
install tiger/ leopard
during installation it will ask to transfew all dato from a prievius mac say yes
choise partion on this mac
and well go away this will take a long time
but at the end you will have a nice brand new install with al you programs mail ,documents ect ect
ad have a smal external drive to boot.

Hi candycane:

As an aside, this will also work with OSx86 Laptops and Desktops.

I used Dell Inspiron 1300 and put the old drive in 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure and the new drive in the laptop. After installing Mac OS X, I was prompted with Apple's Migration Assistant. I selected the profiles and files on the External Drive, and the Migration Assistant took care of everything.
