OK... I found a few other posts on this... (you guys should have a step-by-step for Dummies in your FAQ!)...

I also found an enclosure that should work.

So...

1) Put replacement drive in enclosure
2) Mount replacement drive to MBP (it'll show up as an unformatted disk, I'm assuming?)
3) Run disk utility on replacement drive
4) Partition it as GUID (for intel macs)
5) Run SuperDuper! on existing drive, targeting replacement drive
6) After SD! completes, test boot from replacement drive
7) If all goes well, replace existing drive with replacement drive
8) Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...

Is that it, in a nutshell? Anything I missed or need to plan for? Do I need to install Leopard? Or when I do the copy it automatically "installs" Leopard?

Now, here's something... the enclosure i have is a USB enclosure, so it wouldn't be bootable, or would it?

Would this procedure work also?

1) Do SD! backup as normal, to my normal 500GB LaCie FW drive
2) Remove existing drive, and install replacement drive to MBP (it'll show up as an unformatted disk, I'm assuming?)
3) Run disk utility on replacement drive
4) Partition it as GUID (for intel macs)
5) Run SuperDuper! from 500GB LaCie FW drive, targeting replacement drive now in MBP
6) Boot up from new 320GB drive in MBP
7) Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile... ?

I'll just sit back and not post anything for a while.

Thanks!
