Tonight I swapped out the stock 100GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro with a fresh new Western Digital 320GB. Finally, some mobile storage space!

LOL! - replaced a HD in my PowerBook a few years back...I think I can say with some confidence that Apple do not intend for their end users to do this... *grins*

You daredevil you! ;)

What method do you use to clone the old drive's data to the new one? (I will have to do the same operation to my MacBook some time during the next half year. Can Time Machine do this for me once I upgrade to Leopard?)

did you have to remove the screen to access the HDD?

Automatt says:

No, the screen is still there, it just has the top panel resting against it
