How do I open it?
I wanna change the original 6GB hard disk
for a brand new one of 40GB!

But all that I find is 2 screws and nothing more!

Is there a site or tutorial teaching it?

Thanks!

Be sure to partition your new HD with < 8GB for the first partition. Good luck.

You'd rather rely on Macmania article if replacing HDs is concerned. Just search on their site, and master if it is ATA 100 or 133. As for the brand, choose the least blamed on the forum.
