No checking - this isn't MSFT :).. If you have an older MBP (not the uni-body ones), then getting the HDD out is... fun. Not that hard, just not that easy either. I did one the other other day, took me about 20 mins (my MB takes about 5). Just look around for videos and tuts (eg www.ifixit.com) on how to do it, and make sure you have the right screwdrivers first. Nope, SL will just install on a new drive no problems.

One question though - you used the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD on a blank drive? Does it not need to find Leopard somewhere before it let you upgrade? I haven't got my SL DVD yet - just trying to figure out a couple of things before going ahead. Cheers, D. Hey mate, I’m thinking about putting new HDD into my MBP too.
