Thank you for this very comprehensive guide. I have been able to use it to add a 2nd 1TB Hard Drive to my smaller 13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008 Macbook in lieu of its original SuperDrive. However, I am unable to see this 2nd drive on my desktop. This is despite the fact that I have checked “Hard disks” under the General tab in Preferences. I only see my 1st 500 Gb SSD boot drive. What can I do to have the 2nd Hard Drive show on my desktop as well?

Ok, I formatted the new HD and it can now be seen on my desktop!

Hi, I’m planning to do the 2nd disk op, however my idea is to add either a 2Tb SSD or 4TB SSD, leaving the OS and the std office tools (write, table, presentation) on original HDD. SSD would contain data and video/photo editing tools.

Does anyone know if the late2008 accepts, runs the above 1Tb drives (SSDs or HDDs)?

I’ve heard so many no/yes/hmmm/ney replies, seems that no one knows. Not even Apple Support team.

I would be grateful if somebody is able to give a solid advice on this matter.

One of the CDRom small screw got damage and it wont be unscrew is there away for me to remove the CD Rom? Help?

Richard Tirtadji - Yanıt

Richard Tirtadji: you can try to fix a “good” screw with a strong glue on the top of the defective one. There are how-to’s at youtube.
