Ah, my new external hard drive came in the mail yesterday. I followed the instructions on http://obscuredclarity.blogspot.com/2008/10/500gb-macbook-harddrive-upgrade-for.html and everything was going great.. except I put the hard drive in upside down so it didn’t work.

To make matters worse, the little rubber things inside the walls where the hard drive goes came unglued and then fell off!!

Fortunately, I was at Eric’s house and he suggested that I go buy some superglue. I stopped at the dollar store and bought some superglue and some bamboo skewer sticks to reach the excess gunk that was along the inner parts of the wall.

It worked like a charm after that! I put the 80GB hard drive into the enclosure and then duped the new hard drive from my g-drive that I’ve been booting off of for a while now.

I’ve also a new battery and I’m ready to roll! It’s like having a new computer! I can take the metro or whatever and now I can work on the go.

Great! = ) I just hope that my hard drive doesn’t fail anytime soon, as I’ve voided the warranty I suppose.
