I am replacing the HD on my Macbook Pro. How do most software programs react to the hardware change. Specifically, iTunes & Photoshop. Do I need to "de-activate" before cloning. In other words will iTunes think I have a new computer, taking up another of the 5 allowable pcs where I can store my iTunes purchases? Same question for Photoshop. Will it think I have put it on a new PC? I will be using Drive Genius II for the clone.

Also, when Drive Genius clones my 120GB drive to my new 500GB drive, will it show up as a partition within the 500GB or will I have a single partition 500GB drive (my preference).

Cheers, Joe Mac
