Easy

My Problem

Had a 160gb HD and it was full

My Fix

This stuff is ridiculously easy thanks to the guides on ifixit and the fact they supply you with the tools when you buy the parts!!

I figured I may as well upgrade the Ram to 8gb while I was there so I did that too.

My Advice

Ok so it's the second time I've done the HD and the first time I bought a cheap tool set from the hardware store and rounded off a few screws. Just buy the toolkit from these guys, so much better and the screwdrivers won't round off your screws. Dodged a bullet to be honest as one screw holding the HD in is stuck but you can just sort of slide the HD out and then slide the new one back in.
