Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading the HDD on a Macbook Pro. The old HDD works fine but is running out of space.
Could somebody let me know how to prepare the new HDD and how to install OSx on it Please.
Thanks

One more short short. question. If the new HDD is "raw" (not initialized) do I have to initialize and if so how do I do that?

Hi, after the computer finished downloading the OS installation files you will be provided an option to reinstall OSX, run the disk utility, etc. This screen is after you select your network connection. Choose the disk utility and format your new hard drive first. When done you will be back at this screen then you can choose to reinstall OSX.
