Answer to: Can I replace existing HDD with a used 320MB SATA Hard Drive 12/13/2015
To answer the second question first---Yes you will need to erase the new drive and reformat it as a Mac drive. Then you would need to install an Mac operating system to use the new drive. You could do this with the drive installed but have your OS disk handy when you do it.
