Use Carbon Copy Cloner. Format your new hard drive to Mac OS Extended format and also put in the GUID when formatting options so you can boot your new hard drive. If you do a dd clone your internal drive on your network. But the easiest is to simply copy the important data on the DD network and reinstall everything.
Installation Disk Replacement
- Place the new hard drive so that the connectors and the ribbon cable aligned with the receptacle to be mounted in the chassis.
- Align the notches on the edge of the receptacle connectors of the chassis of the computer and drag the receptacle on the inside.
- Align the notches on the radiator with the radiator opposite. Lock the three screws.
- Reconnect the power cable and ribbon ATA disk.
- Close the AirPort shield and tighten the screws.
- Reinstall the AirPort card, if applicable.
If the computer is turned on, shut it down. Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the battery from the computer. Hold down the power button for 5 seconds then release. Replace the battery and plug the power adapter. Press the power button to restart the computer.
