    I had some difficulty sliding the new drive in the bracket. It got about half way in and then wouldn’t go further. I couldn’t see what it was getting stuck on. I ended up pushing it thru somewhat forcefully/quickly but it worked.

    I replaced the optical drive and hard drive (with an SSD) at the same time. When I put it all back together the new hard drive did not work. Turns out you need to set the pins on the optical drive to “SL” (which horribly stands for slave) from the default MA (master) to get this to work.

    I replaced the stock hard drive with an SSD. After the install the Mac didn’t recognize the new SSD. After some troubleshooting it seems that the drive was formatted in such a way that the Mac restore CDs didn’t know what do do with it. I connected in target mode via firewire to another Mac running OS 9 which immediately mounted the new SSD and ran disc setup. Formatted the new drive as Mac OS extended and then tried to run the install CDs again which worked flawlessly. If able, I would recommend formatting the drive ahead of time to save time and panic.
