Am I the only one who finds this ‘guide’ to me inappropriately titled. I mean, it should be called ‘optical drive removal and that’s it’. The title it currently has led me to believe that it would not only show how to take out the optical drive, but that it would then show me how to put in the new hard drive I have. In other words, where’s the rest? That nobody else has posted this comment is making me equally crazy right now. It’s got me so crazy right. This guides got me feeling so crazy right now. Got me so crazy, this guides got me crazy, this guides got me crazy. This Guide!!!!

Are you trying to take the optical drive out entirely and install a new HDD there? You need an HDD bay (mounter, adapter, whatever you call it) for your new drive to install it because: 1. HDD is way too small to fit the place and 2. the connector for optical drive is different from that of your HDD’s.

If you don’t have any, iFixit offers this (careful, it supports HDD up to only 750GB!)

If you have one, did yours come with some instruction to secure your HDD in place? Follow the instruction on that (usually requires you to put 4 screws on the side of your HDD as well as to screw the metal part you scavenged from your SuperDrive.) Once you take out the SuperDrive, replace the words “optical drive” in this guide with “your HDD bay,” then backtrack the guide (in fact, most of the guides here only instruct you how to disassemble your device; There’s a final instruction on the blue area to backtrack the guide to assemble it back.) That’s what I did.

Replacement is simply the removal process in reverse.
