I did a search already and couldn't find a tutorial. Anyone know of any sites that has a tutorial on how to swap out the Hard Drive? I have the one for my MBPs but I haven't found one for the MB. Thanks in advance!

Apple's support pages have a simple guide on how to replace your MB HD.

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/...dDrive_DIY.pdf

It's really piece of cake.

indeed, it couldn't be easier.

remove battery
remove metal sheild over RAM and HDD slot.
pull HDD out using the tab to grip on

that's it

remember, your new HDD will need formatting before you can use it so you will need to start your MacBook up using the install DVD (hold c key down and start) then use disk utilities to format the drive as required.
