I don't know about the earlier iMacs, but my DV model was a snap to swap the HD on. There are detailed instructions from iMac2Day's website which I followed, but I skipped everyth…

I'm not worried about the temperature, considering that I have a fan. I must admit, I've never completely installed a hard drive on my own before. I would assume that the master …

The master/slave arrangement works like this: There can be a maximum of 2 devices on one IDE ribon cable. New drives come with instructions on how to configure them to either mas…

what about temporarily connecting a second hard drive - just to transfer the files - while the imac is disassembled? Is that a bad idea, considering that all of the parts would be…

What happened to www.imac2day.com? PLEASE HELP I just bought a hard drive today, expecting to do this. Last I checked this site was up, but it was a while back. It had the exa…

Wow... so funny that a full year after posting this thread, I get a reply in my email. Also funny that after all the advice I collected, I decided to forgo the process of putting …
