Step 14: Carefully remove the

ribbon cable connector from the

hard drive.

Caution: Note that the ribbon cable connector does not

to the new drive.

• Reverse the relevant previous steps to reassemble the computer.

Congratulations on the installation of your new PowerBook hard drive

upgrade!

Note: It is normal for usable hard drive capacities to be reduced

by 5-7% upon initialization of the drive. Also, your drive ships

preformatted and initialized, but does not include system soft-

ware on it. If you have the appropriate hardware, such as the

MCE Transport PC Card Hard Drive Kit or the MCE Transport

Pro FireWire/USB Hard Drive Kit, you may transfer the data

from the original internal hard drive to the new internal hard

drive. If not, you may need to re-install your system software

and other applications from the original disks or CD-ROM

disc. Consult the manual(s) that came with your PowerBook for

details.
