iBook HD upgrade

I bought my iBook with the intention of switching the tiny 20GB HD for a 40GB drive. Then I read what involved. You have to completley disassemble the thing! Anyway, I put off doing this for half a year, then I bit the bullet and put in a 60GB drive. It worked! Anyway, there are a lot of steps involved and you have to be very careful. Having said that, it's not overly difficult, just time consuming. I wouldn't have been able to do it if it hadn't been for the following step-by-step instructions.

There are a couple of mistakes in the following document, but it's amazingly accurate. I wouldn't have put together such a complete document.

I'd also like to add that I called Apple before I did the upgrade to ask if it would void my warranty. The person I talked to said that as long as I didn't damage anything while I was in there, the warranty would stand. I've since purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, so we'll see if this is the case.
