Hard drive upgrade for powerbook

[karoline]

I have the first 17" Mac powerbook (1GHZ processor) that came out and wish to upgrade the hard drive. From what I can see the western Digital 250g Scorpio WD2500BEVE hard drive will be compatible and is available from Scan computers but they don't promise that it will work on a MAC as they sell for PC's. Can anyone confirm that I will be ordering the correct part?

As long as you know it has the right connector and is the correct size (some 2.5 inch drives are a bit bigger) then it will work.

make your may to a relevant section such as hardware support...

Thanks for the headsup on SuperDuper, it really is.... er.....super duper. Needed to clone a mac hard disk for a mate prior to replacing it in a mac mini. Even in the free download version it's incredibly easy to use and works a treat. So much so that I'm going to buy a license and unlock the other features.

Glad it was of use!
