Just goes to show, when I buy technology, the new model is on it’s way. Just over 30 days ago I purchased a MacBook Pro and now Apple is selling MacBooks with more Hard drive space, updated processors, and with the new touch interface. That is right! The new MacBook Pros come with the Touch interface that is the main selling part of the MacBook Air. Well, to me it is since I think the MacBook Air is pretty useless with no expandability.

Also updated: The MacBook with no touch but bigger hard drive and faster processors. There was a firmware update to the iPhone that so far from what I can tell is just for bugs and a 2GB Shuffle is available.

This tip assumes you have successfully installed your new hard drive and the jumper settings are correct.

Most people think they have to use the software CD that comes with their purchased hard drive simply because they don’t see the hard drive in Windows when they turn on the computer. This is simply not necessary because Windows has a tool built in to add a hard drive. All you need to do is right-click on My Computer or Computer depending if you have XP or Vista respectively, and select "Manage." This will bring up the Computer Management console. From there, click "Disk Management" in the left column. All of your drives will load. You will see your newly installed disk, right-click on whatever number it is and select New Volume and follow the steps. My mind is fuzzy at this point, but after this, you may need to right-click again to the area of the right of the disk number and select format.
