I don't use my DVD drive often. One of the reasons my DVD drive is under utilized is because all my music is now on my HD. So I guess it wouldn't be a problem. If I got the the expansion bay adaptor, the HD should be bootable and hot-swappable right or would I have to restart every single time. Decisions... decisions...
If it doesn't affect my Apple Care Warranty, I'll probably swap out the old drive and put it in the expansion bay to use as a back up for my files. Which hard drive should I buy and what is the cheapest place to get it at? --markemmanuel On Thursday, February 27, 2003, at 04:17 PM, Brian L.
