I am upgrading the 80GB internal HDD to a larger HDD. Does the following procedure work? I have Tiger 10.4 OS X.
1/ Make a bootable copy of my internal HDD to an external USB HDD using SuperDuper
2/ Reboot the MacBook from the external USB HDD to make sure it can boot
3/ Swap the internal HDD with the external HDD
4/ Boot from the new internal HDD (This is the step I am not so sure. I assume the MacBook will just boot from the new internal HDD).

You got it. That should work fine. Make sure you set the clone to be bootable when using Superduper.

*whoops* sorry about that. Thought that I was in the lounge for some odd reason. Silly me.

Just want to give an update. The upgrade works as plan and pretty straight forward. Thanks for everyone's help and comments.
