Let me see, it was the: IBM-Hitachi 2.5" 80 GB Drive-80GN 4200 RPM It took a couple of hours, it's not an easy replacement but it isn't as difficult as Apple would like you to believe. You've just got to be careful with the parts. I did the replacement months ago (the original drive was failing), and haven't had a problem with the new drive. Here are some directions... I followed the first set, but at a glance the seconds appears to be a little better.
